Identification of novel genetic markers associated with clinical phenotypes of systemic sclerosis through a genome-wide association strategy.

Identification of novel genetic markers associated with clinical phenotypes of systemic sclerosis through a genome-wide association strategy.

The aim of this study was to determine, through a genome-wide association study (GWAS), the genetic components contributing to different clinical sub-phenotypes of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We considered limited (lcSSc) and diffuse (dcSSc) cutaneous involvement, and the relationships with presence o...
