Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Antibodies to citrullinated proteins are markers of RA especially for early diagnosis of the disease. The sensitivity of CCP-IgG for RA varies from about 50-75% whereas specificity for RA is relatively high usually >90%. Hence it is useful in differentiating RA from other connective tissue diseases that may present with arthritis and may be positive for RF such as HCV-associated cryoglobulinemia undifferentiated polyarthritis and Sj gren syndrome. Not all individuals with RA will have detectable anti-CCP antibodies and elevated anti-CCP antibodies may be seen in individuals with no evidence of clinical disease.
