CLINICAL ASSOCIATIONS

Mitogen’s Scleroderma / Systemic Sclerosis Profile is a comprehensive autoimmune diagnostic test for scleroderma-specific autoantibodies directed against CENP, Scl-70/topo I, RNA polymerase, U3-RNP (fibrillarin), Th/To and other scleroderma-related autoantibodies. Each autoantibody (and combinations of autoantibodies) has been associated with clinical subsets of scleroderma.
