Brief description of study

The research study is being done to understand both why and how scleroderma and related female-biased diseases affect women and men differently. Though we do not know what causes these diseases, we do know that women are much more likely to develop them than men. We are studying how the body’s immune system differs between men and women with these conditions, and comparing this to people who do not have these diseases.

We are looking for men and women without scleroderma and related diseases (control group) to have one study visit that includes a physical exam and blood collection. We will also collect information about you from your medical record for up to 5 years. Participants will receive a stipend of $50 for participating.

You must not have scleroderma, pulmonary hypertension, diseases with similarities to scleroderma (including myositis, lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, or rheumatoid arthritis), or other conditions that affect your immune system.
