Increased expression of type VI collagen genes in systemic sclerosis
1 Dec 1990
Abstract excerpt
The expression of type VI collagen genes in affected skin from patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) was examined by in situ hybridizations with a human alpha 2(VI) collagen sequence-specific complementary DNA. Five patients with diffuse, rapidly progressive SSc of recent onset (less than 12 months) were studied. The results showed increased expression of alpha 2(VI) collagen messenger RNA transcripts in the...
