Nothing you can order from your doctor yet but plenty of abnormal findings in almost every aspect of the body. As far as I know none of the findings yet is found in every sufferer, a combination can often get to ~95% but its very heterogenous and that has made it very hard to come up with a single test.

Wouldn’t this be completely expected though?

A sizable percentage of autoimmune cases of well accepted autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, celiac, etc etc etc ) are completely seronegative despite glaringly obvious clinical signs: eg peeing skin, deformed joints etc etc - all blood work perfectly normal. Happens all the time.

Why would we expect anything different here?
