Description of the clinical characteristics of patients with familial systemic scleroderma

Study Overview

Brief Summary

Studying familial forms of systemic scleroderma offers several advantages:

  1. To better understand the pathophysiology of a complex autoimmune disease based on "extreme" cases (familial forms);
  2. To identify potential molecular markers predictive of disease progression;
  3. To identify potential pathophysiological targets for developing new therapies, particularly relevant in severe and refractory forms of the disease.
