TL;DR

Primary biliary cholangitis and Sjögren’s syndrome, not systemic sclerosis, are the most common definitive autoimmune diseases in the large anti-CENP-B-positive patient cohort, supporting their complementary role in clinical phenotyping and diagnostic evaluation.

Clinical and immunological features of rheumatoid arthritis patients with positive anti-centromere antibody: a case-control study

ACA-positive RA may present a unique phenotype characterized by an increased risk of interstitial lung disease, sicca symptoms, and cholestatic liver injury; thus, enhanced pulmonary/hepatic screening and tailored monitoring strategies are critical.

Clinical and serological features of systemic autoimmune overlap in AQP4-IgG positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: a Mexican cohort study.

Systemic autoimmune overlap was present in approximately one in five patients and the overlap group showed more frequent systemic autoantibody positivity and a predominance of optic neuritis at onset, but disability measures, treatment patterns, and most clinical outcomes were similar between groups.

Clinical Significance of Rheumatologic Autoantibodies in Treatment-Naïve Patients with Lymphoma, Breast, and Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Case-Control Study

While ANA and RF may be positive in malignancy due to immune dysregulation, these findings are largely non-specific and should neither prompt a diagnosis of a rheumatic disease nor alter the oncological treatment plan.

Association of anti-Ro52 antibody positivity with interstitial lung disease and serological features in primary Sjögren’s disease

Anti-Ro52 positivity was associated with a higher frequency of ILD and a distinct serological profile in SjD, which support its potential value in clinical phenotyping, although prospective multicenter studies are needed for validation.
