Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Hardening of the skin is one of the most visible manifestations of the disease. It’s estimated that about 300,000 Americans have scleroderma. About one third of those people have the systemic form of scleroderma. Since scleroderma presents with symptoms similar to other autoimmune diseases, diagnosis is difficult. This issue will cover: The Genetic Basis of SSc: Genetics, Epigenetics, Mechanisms of Pathogenesis – linking fibrosis, vasculopathy and immune dysregulation, The Role of Autoantibodies in Diagnosis and Prognosis/survival; Managing Raynaud’s phenomenon and ischemic ulcers, managing SSc Lung Disease, Monitoring for and Managing Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, and many more!

Scleroderma is unique among our rheumatic diseases both in its clinical expression and its resistance to recovery when using our usual anti-inflammatory medications. The reason for this difference is now becoming apparent as the biology of the scleroderma process is better understood. It is now recognized that the disease expression is quite heterogeneous and that several different clinical but distinct phenotypes exists. This issue of Rheumatic Disease Clinics provides a concise update of developments in this area of study and covers topics such as vascular disease in scleroderma, diagnosis, management of the disease, genetics, novel treatments, scleroderma-like disorders, and its effect on the heart and lungs.
