Clinical Significance
Anti-CarP antibodies serve as a marker of more severe prognosis in RA, independent of anti-CCP or RF status. Studies have shown anti-CarP found in early RA associates with future erosive damage. The clinical significance of positive anti-CarP in the absence of RA has not been established.
