ANA Pattern
ANA pattern describes the staining distribution seen under immunofluorescence and offers clues about which nuclear antigens are targeted. Homogeneous patterns are associated with lupus and drug-induced lupus, speckled with mixed connective tissue disease and Sjogren syndrome, nucleolar with scleroderma, and centromere with limited scleroderma. Pattern plus titer guides further antibody testing.
