Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query.
Normal ribonucleoprotein antibody level: Therefore a value of 1.1 is positive for high level.
A positive result for RNP antibodies is consistent with the diagnosis of mixed connective tissue disease.
Normal range of IgG for adults:     994 (639–1,349)
Value more than 1, 350 are considered to be high and positive.
High IgG levels are also increased in patients with mixed connective tissue disease.

You are advised to kindly consult your doc for clinical correlation and treatment.

Hope your doubt has been clarified.
Do reply if convinced.
