A member asked:

Can nucleolar pattern be associated with hashimoto's or something other than scleroderma?

Dr. Christine Hom answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Blood tests: Nucleolar pattern is associated with scleroderma, but is also subject to interpretation. If there are signs and symptoms of disease, then a nucleolar ANA may be significant. With no specific signs and symptoms, it is more likely to be a red herring.
