The anti-synthetase syndrome comprises the association of an inflammatory myopathy (polymyositis, dermatomyositis), interstitial pneumonitis, skin lesions characteristic of "mechanics hands", Raynaud's phenomena, inflammatory polyarthritis and, at the biological level, antinuclear antibodies known as anti-synthetases.
