Abstract
The anti-dense fine speckled 70 (anti-DFS70) antibodies have recently become of interest because of their occurring in heterogeneous disorders including chronic inflammatory conditions, cancer, and systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD), as well as in healthy individuals1,2,3. The frequency of anti-DFS70 antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) ranged from 0 to 2.6%4.
