Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The cause of scleroderma is unknown. The disease may produce local or systemic symptoms. The course and severity of the disease varies widely in those affected. Excess collagen deposits in the skin and other organs produce the symptoms. Damage to small blood vessels within the skin and affected organs also occurs. In the skin, ulceration, calcification, and changes in pigmentation may occur. Systemic features may include fibrosis and degeneration of the heart, lungs, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.

Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder is an autoimmune process with symptoms of Scleroderma, Myositis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus , Rheumatoid Arthritis and/or other autoimmune diseases. It is a description of a group of symptoms occurring together. This is different from a diagnosis that describes the underlying process. It is a disorder of the immune system, which normally functions to protect the body against invading infections and cancers, and toxins. In Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, as in other autoimmune diseases parts of the complex immune system is over-active and produces increased amounts of abnormal antibodies that attack the patient's own organs. Sometimes MCTD is called Overlap Syndrome or Undifferentiated Mix Connective Tissue Disorder. Some writers discriminate between them claiming that each of these are different. Some argue MCTD is not a distinct entity at all, and is just one of the forms of Lupus or Scleroderma.

Scleroderma
The word Scleroderma comes from two Greek words sclero meaning hard and derma meaning skin. Scleroderma is a disease of the immune system, the blood vessels, and connective tissue. In this condition the skin, usually on the hands and feet, becomes stiff, tight, and shiny. This is because of swelling and then thickening of the connective tissue which becomes fibrotic or scarred. Internal organs can also be affected in a similar way.
Types of Scleroderma
Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (dcSSc)
Sclerodactyly - this photograph shows the hands of a typical scleroderma patient, where the skin of the digits has become thin, shiny and leathery looking. The fingers and toes may become flexed and stiff and thickened skin can reduce flexibility of the joints. Shortly after the onset of Raynaud's, the patient presents with skin changes (puffy or hidebound), has truncal skin involvement and "creaking" tendons at joints, e.g. wrists and elbows. Early lung disease, kidney, gastro-intestinal and heart involvement becomes evident in some patients. There are changes in the nailfold capillary and certain antibodies may be present in the blood. A specific marker of scleroderma, usually the diffuse form, is Scl-70 which is present in 30% of patients. Anyone with diffuse SSC needs to be checked frequently (at least every 6-12 months) in the first 5 years.

Scleroderma
What is scleroderma?
Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses which occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Scleroderma is characterized by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the skin and organs of the body. This leads to thickness and firmness of involved areas. Scleroderma is also referred to as systemic sclerosis. The cause of scleroderma is not known. Researchers have found some evidence that genes are important factors, but the environment seems to also play a role. This means that inheritance at least play a partial role. It is not unusual to find other autoimmune diseases in families of scleroderma patients. Some evidence for the role genes may play in leading to the development of scleroderma comes from the study of Choctaw Native Americans who are the group with the highest reported prevalence of the disease. The disease is more frequent in females than in males. How is scleroderma classified?

Scleroderma Information - More than our business
Our involvement with Scleroderma began as a commercial shoot in 1994. A previous client who had employed us for another type of service happened to be a Scleroderma patient, and a Chapter President within the former United Scleroderma Foundation. She requested our services for their annual chapter medical workshop, and, liking the results, recommended us the National Foundation for the 1995 USF National Conference.

The scleroderma FAQ is a comprehensive document about scleroderma and CREST targeted at patients,family members, and physicians.
http://www.synnovation.com/sclerodermafaq.html
SCLERODERMA F.A.Q. Revised April 22, 1998 (Minor Revision: July 25, 2002 Please address all comments and suggestions to: Ed Harris eharris@synnovation.com General Description Scleroderma (means "hard skin") is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by abnormal thickening of the skin. It is generally considered to be an autoimmune disorder. There are two major variants of the disease, as well as other less common forms. The more serious form is usually called "diffuse Scleroderma " and is characterized by rapid development of skin thickening beginning with the hands, and face and extending to the arms and trunk. People with diffuse Scleroderma are at greater risk for developing internal organ involvement early in the course of the disease. The other major form is often called limited Scleroderma or CREST Syndrome. The name CREST is an acronym for its characteristic symptoms: calcinosis Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal involvement, sclerodactyly , and telangiectasia (these terms are discussed below). This form progresses more slowly and has a better prognosis.

If you want a more detailed discussion of scleroderma in childhood click here for information regarding a book I have written
Being told that your child has scleroderma is a very scary experience The first thing you need to know is what type of scleroderma. Sometimes doctors use the word scleroderma when they are referring to localized lesions of morphea (see below). This isn’t pretty to look at, but it is rarely serious. Other times a child has linear scleroderma with an area of tight skin on an arm or leg. Again, this isn’t pretty, but it isn’t life threatening. Other children have progressive systemic sclerosis or CREST syndrome.
