< 0.001\). There were no significant correlations between anti-MCV levels and age, dis- ease duration, duration of morning stiffness, number of swollen and tender joints, HAQ or ESR in patients with RA, while serum levels correlates significantly with DAS28, VAS and CRP \(p /span> 0.05\). Anti-CCP2 correlates significantly with DAS28, VAS and CRP and ANA \(p /span> 0.05\). Serum anti-MCV and anti-CCP2 were significantly correlated with each other \(r = 0.483; p The receiver operating characteristic \(ROC\) curve was drawn and it showed that anti-MCV had diagnostic specificity, sensitivity of 93.3%, 75.5%, respectively, while anti-CCP2 specificity, sensitivity of 98.1%, 85%, respectively. Conclusion: Serum anti-MCV as well as the anti-CCP-2 assay perform comparably well in the diagnosis of RA. In the high-specificity range, however, the anti-CCP2 assay appears to be superior to the anti-MCV test.)/SourceModified(D:20131118063657)/Author(SaharAbou El-Fetou, Hanan S.
