INTRODUCTION: The autoimmune disorders of the skeletal muscle tissue termed myositis are a rare yet diverse group of diseases with distinct clinical and pathological features and with different prognoses and treatment responses. Subtyping of patients is necessary for appropriate disease management, and requires specialized expertise and elaborate diagnostic testing of clinico-pathological disease features.
AREAS COVERED: Current clinical practice and diagnostic criteria for subtyping patients are searched on medical online platforms including PubMed and Web of Science. Recent publications on growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and muscle disorders are summarized and analyzed, and comparisons are made of data published in studies describing disease cohorts as well as individual patients. Influence of age and physical activity on GFD-15 levels and potential as a diagnostic criterion are discussed. This review contains supportive evidence of the elevated levels of GDF-15 in the blood of myositis patients, a feature which distinguishes these autoimmune muscle disorders from muscular dystrophy with secondary inflammation.
EXPERT OPINION: GDF-15 represents a novel and promising serological biomarker for diagnosing myositis, yet more studies are needed to assay its sensitivity and specificity. Increased diagnostic power is expected by combining GDF-15 levels with other blood-derived biomarkers.
