Disease relevance of Scleroderma, Localized

 

High impact information on Scleroderma, Localized

  • Immunoblotting confirmed the presence of IgG anti-topo IIalpha antibody in sera from patients with localized scleroderma and showed no cross-reactivity of anti-topo IIalpha antibody with topo I [6].
  • Eight patients with linear scleroderma (30%) and 6 patients with morphea (26%) had IgG autoantibodies to fibrillin 1 (rFbn-1) by RIA, compared with 3 controls (6%) (P = 0.006 and P = 0.022, respectively) [7].
  • Autoantibodies to the extracellular matrix microfibrillar protein, fibrillin 1, in patients with localized scleroderma [7].
  • Among the disease groups studied, elevated levels of circulating TGF beta 1 were seen only in patients with morphea [8].
  • Serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor. A marker of disease activity in localized scleroderma [9].
