Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“A positive Jo‑1 antibody test is a specific marker for antisynthetase syndrome, but clinical correlation with pulmonary function tests and muscle enzyme assessments is essential. Always interpret results in consultation with your rheumatologist or pulmonologist.” — Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA License 36234132
