Localized scleroderma and hemiatrophy in association with antibodies to double-stranded DNA.
Localized scleroderma involves primarily skin but also muscle, bone and synovium. Further associations and transitional forms have been reported. We report here two cases showing associations between localized scleroderma and vasculitis, mononeuritis multiplex, juvenile chronic arthritis and hemiatrophy. In particular our cases both possess antibodies to double-stranded DNA, a finding not previ...

متن کاملPreferential association of a functional variant in complement receptor 2 with antibodies to double-stranded DNA
OBJECTIVES Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; OMIM 152700) is characterised by the production of antibodies to nuclear antigens. We previously identified variants in complement receptor 2 (CR2/CD21) that were associated with decreased risk of SLE. This study aimed to identify the causal variant for this association. METHODS Genotyped and imputed genetic variants spanning CR2 were assessed for...
متن کاملAntibodies to double-stranded (native) DNA in active chronic hepatitis.
Sera from 36 patients with active chronic hepatitis were studied for the presence of antibodies to double-stranded (native) DNA. These antibodies are a specific antinuclear antibody previously shown to have a high degree of specificity for systemic lupus erythematosus. Fifteen of the 36 patients (42%) were found to have levels of antibody usually only reported in systemic lupus erythematosus an...
