Muscle ISG15 expression is strongly associated with juvenile DM, with patients exhibiting a different ISG-15 muscle signature according to their MSA class. Patients with juvenile DM who are positive for MDA-5 have higher expression of ISG15 in both gene form and protein form compared to the other subgroups. Moreover, our data show that negative regulation of type I IFN correlates with milder muscle involvement.
