Feto-maternal microchimerism in connective tissue diseases

1 Dec 2002

Abstract excerpt

Fetal progenitor cells traffic to the mother during pregnancy and can persist in the maternal circulation for many years. Feto-maternal microchimerism has been reported in women with scleroderma, but its contribution to the disease pathogenesis remains unclear. Furthermore, the involvement of microchimerism in other connective tissue diseases is controversial. We studied 243 females, 122 of whom had previously...
