1 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is associated with secondary malignancies. Previous studies have suggested that mutated cancer proteins, such as RNA polymerase III, are autoantigens promoting an inflammatory response in SSc. However, it has never been previously investigated whether non-neoplastic tissue in SSc harbors mutations which may play a role in SSc pathogenesis. METHODS: Skin biopsies were obtained...
