A member asked:

Are there certain autoimmune conditions that are associated with a high ana titre (1:2560) more so than others? like lupus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes Lupus BUT others: This is characteristic of lupus and also other connective tissue diseases like scleroderma, overlap connective tissue disease, dermatomyositis. This is a high titer but even here we see this without lupus or a connective tissue disease
