High YKL-40 serum levels and its expression in the muscle tissues of patients with antisynthetase syndrome

Abstract Background The protein chitinase-3-like-1 (YKL-40) is rarely analyzed in patients with myositis. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate YKL-40 serum levels; correlate them with laboratory and clinical parameters, disease status, and treatment schemes; and analyze the YKL-40 expression in the muscl...
