Patients with scleroderma (systemic sclerosis; SSc) can be classified into subsets based on autoantibody profile and clinical features.

Abstract
Patients with scleroderma (systemic sclerosis; SSc) can be classified into subsets based on autoantibody profile and clinical features. Specificities such as anti-Th/To and anti-fibrillarin (U3RNP) are detectable mainly by immunoprecipitation (IP), which is not widely used in clinical laboratories. We examined the autoantibody profiles and clinical manifestations in a cohort of Italian patients with SSc, focusing on anti-Th/To and anticentromere (ACA) antibodies, associated with limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc).File in questo prodotto:
