The X chromosome and systemic sclerosis.

Current opinion in rheumatology - 1 Nov 2006

Selmi Carlo, Invernizzi Pietro, Gershwin M Eric

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Similar to the majority of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, systemic sclerosis is characterized by a striking female predominance superimposed on a predisposing genetic background. At least two genetic mechanisms have been proposed that play a role in susceptibility to systemic sclerosis; firstly the maintenance of immune tolerance via genes on the X chromosomes and, secondly, fetal...
