Epidemiology and Genetics of Rheumatic Diseases Suggest a Constant Rate of DNA Damage as Underlying Cause

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 177, Issue 4, Page 736-748, April 2026.
A constant rate of DNA damage that is not perfectly repaired will cause a constant rate of DNA mutations. The chance of mutation will increase if DNA is prone to damage, such as occurs in somatic hypermutation (SHM) hotspots and GC‐rich DNA. Thus, if one mutation‐prone DNA site drives disease, the age of onset of disease and degree of penetrance should

Longitudinal Assessment of the Juvenile Systemic Sclerosis Severity Score: Application in the National Registry for Childhood Onset Scleroderma

open access: yesACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Objective Juvenile‐onset systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is a rare, heterogeneous pediatric autoimmune disease. Existing severity tools are often adapted from adult systemic sclerosis and lack pediatric‐specific validation. The Juvenile Systemic Sclerosis Severity Score (J4S) was developed to address this gap by capturing multiorgan disease burden.
