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

Scleroderma

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1989
This article reviews the literature on scleroderma and pregnancy, highlighting its sparsity, confused state, and retrospective nature. It emphasizes the need for more informed prospective work. This is required for clinical management and to help understand the complex interaction between scleroderma and pregnancy.

LOCALIZED SCLERODERMAS

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2006
Localized scleroderma, also known as morphoea, has a variety of clinical manifestations that can include systemic involvement. Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment may improve the long-term outcome.A large multicentre study coordinated by the Pediatric Rheumatology European Society has yielded important information on the epidemiology and ...

Scleroderma

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 1995
In practice, the classification of scleroderma is less problematic than that of most other connective tissue diseases given the distinctive pattern of skin involvement. Classification of early and limited disease is more problematic and is difficult to separate from severe forms of Raynaud's phenomenon. Division of scleroderma into two groups depending

Scleroderma

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1987
After a review of some pathogenetic and pathologic aspects of scleroderma, the experimental effects of a group of agents that can inhibit the formation of connective tissue, especially the biosynthesis of collagen, are mentioned. These substances were transferred to clinical therapy of scleroderma.

Keloidal scleroderma.

Clinical and experimental dermatology, 2003
A 53-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis developed numerous cutaneous nodules, resembling keloids, on her anterior chest wall. The nodules failed to respond to therapy with topical steroid, calcipotriol, or extended photochemotherapy. This is a rare, disfiguring variant of scleroderma, unresponsive to treatment, and poorly understood.
