- Researchers have discovered a gene called connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF), which they say is more common in people with systemic scleroderma than in those without the disease.
- The prognosis for patients with systemic scleroderma has improved since the 1970s. Ten-year survival rates are up, and deaths from kidney crises have dropped. However, deaths from pulmonary fibrosis have increased during this time period.
- High-dose immunosuppressant therapy with cyclophosphamide significantly improved skin and overall function in patients with scleroderma.
