Area of Science:

  • Immunogenetics
  • Rheumatology
  • Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

  • Systemic scleroderma (PSS) is a complex autoimmune disease with potential genetic predispositions.
  • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes play a crucial role in immune system regulation and are implicated in autoimmune conditions.
  • Familial clustering of PSS and related autoimmune diseases suggests a shared genetic component.
