Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Multiple genes, including those for MHC antigens and cytokines, contribute to SSc development and prevalence.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Rheumatology

Context:

  • Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune disorder affecting multiple organs.
  • Its pathogenesis involves intricate interactions between genetic predisposition and environmental triggers.
  • Prevalence is influenced by demographic factors such as sex, ethnicity, and family history.

Purpose:

  • To elucidate the diverse genetic phenomena implicated in the etiopathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis.
  • To highlight the role of specific genetic factors in SSc development.

Summary:

  • This study reviews key genetic factors contributing to Systemic Sclerosis.
  • These include major histocompatibility complex antigens, microchimerism, and polymorphisms in genes for extracellular matrix components, receptors, adhesion molecules, and cytokines.
