A member asked:

Would centromere pattern 1:160 in ana mean centromere antibodies? r additional tests needed 2 determine if i have n autoimmune diseases?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It means exactly that. Centromere antibodies are associated with a form of scleroderma. Why were the tests ordered in the first place?
