PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The Centromere Antibodies test measures antibodies directed against centromere proteins within the cell nucleus. These antibodies are most commonly associated with certain autoimmune and connective tissue disorders, particularly limited systemic sclerosis (also known as CREST syndrome).
This test is typically ordered as part of an autoimmune or ANA component panel when symptoms such as Raynaud’s phenomenon, skin thickening, joint pain, or other signs of autoimmune disease are present. Results help support further evaluation and diagnosis when autoimmune conditions are suspected.
