Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Rheumatology, 2000
A defining feature of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is the presence of antibodies against the U1-ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, but other autoantibodies in MCTD have recently been described. Research has also further elucidated the immune responses directed against U1-RNP in humans and in murine models of disease.

Mixed connective tissue disease

Best Practice and Research in Clinical Rheumatology, 2016
The concept of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) as a separate connective tissue disease (CTD) has persisted for more than four decades. High titers of antibodies targeting the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (U1 snRNP) in peripheral blood are a sine qua non for the diagnosis of MCTD, in addition to distinct clinical features including

Mixed connective tissue disease

Clinics in Dermatology, 1985
Abstract Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) was first described by Gordon Sharp, 1 in 1972, as a distinct connective tissue disorder characterized by overlapping features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), and dermato/polymyositis (DP/PM).

Mixed Connective-Tissue Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 1977
Coping with chronic illness has become a personal experience for me. For the past 13 years, I have gone through various stages of coping with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), a rare collagen-vascular disease of unknown origin that resembles scleroderma, lupus erythematosus, and polymyositis.
