Research lines

Specific Antinuclear antibodies of scleroderma as markers for different clinical patterns.

We want to establish the relationship between the presence of specific autoantibodies for scleroderma (anti-centromere, anti-topoisomerase 1, anti-polymerase III, anti-U3 RNP, Anti-Th/To, Anti-Pm/Scl, anti-Ku) with the different demographic and clinical features as well as with the disease prognosis.

Genetic basis of scleroderma.

With this study we aim at studying the genetic background of the disease to deepen in its pathogenesis to be able to establish links between genetic variations and different clinic-biologic patterns. This research is based on a multicentric study and it is led by Prof. Javier Martín from the "Instituto López-Neyra" of Parasitology, CSIC (Granada). We contribute to it by sending samples from our cohort of patients along with the clinical data.

Spanish Registry of Scleroderma patients (Systemic Autoimmune Diseases Group, Spanish Internal Medicine Association).

This multicentric study includes 14 hospitals with a cohort of 916 scleroderma patients. Its main goal consists in determining both the prognosis factors and the survival of these patients.

Significance of Capillaroscopy in Raynaud's phenomenon and scleroderma.

We want to describe the capillaroscopy alterations observed in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon and scleroderma. Our main objective is to establish the different patterns that may be related to visceral involvement and to the prognosis in the early stages of the disease.

Researchers have used an innovative protocol to identify people with this autoimmune disease who have a higher risk of cancer.

It will allow the promotion of research on systemic autoimmune-based diseases that especially affect women of childbearing age and, therefore, can also appear during pregnancy.

The study showing how thrombocytopenia increases the risk of thrombosis in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome has been considered the best paper published in 2021.
