Systemic Diseases

The Systemic Diseases group performs translational research based on at least 300 patients with systemic lupus erytomatosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), systemic sclerosis, vasculitis, dermatomyitis, Sjörgen syndrome or autoinflammatory syndromes in order to better understand their pathogenesis (both at the immunological and genetic regulation level), study their clinical and biological expression (through the detection of new markers that help characterize each of the autoimmune diseases), study morbimortality (through epidemiological studies) and analyse patients' response to medications. With these goals in mind, we seek to improve the diagnosis, clinical monitoring, and prognosis of our patients.

MYOGEN study. Genome Wide Association study in myositis.

We are currently enrolled in this worldwide study to detect global genetic alterations in patients with myositis. Twenty centres from Europe and United States participate in this study. We contribute to add the genetic information of the patients from our population. Professor Frederick W. Miller (Bethesda, USA) and Dr. Ingrid Lundberg (Stockholm, Sweden) lead the project.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is a under diagnosed disease due to its low prevalence and the fact that occasionally debuts as an atypical form. Thrombosis of atypical localization, moreover associated to anemia of unknown origin requires screening for HPN.

Pathogenic role of cellular microparticles and anti-phospholipid/anti-cofactor antibodies in recurrent implantation failures related to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

The prevalence of failed IVF is high or very high. Besides problems intrinsic to the technique, we know almost nothing about the possible underlying causes. Anti-phospholipid/anti-cofactor (aPL/aCF) antibodies have been associated to several obstetric complications. Nevertheless, the role that these aPL/aCF antibodies may have in failed IVF is not well defined. With this randomized study we want to understand better the use that these antibodies may have on a clinical daily basis. Along with the microparticles analysis, we could end up by finding several elements that might act as risk markers; in turn, it might even help us to fine-tune the currently used therapeutic approaches.

Predictive kit to detect the possible establishment of late adverse effects related to bioimplants used in clinical practice.

A high variability in the prevalence of adverse effects with an immunologic basis seems to be related with any implant used in clinical practice. We have managed to find a particular association of HLA haplotypes that increase the risk for developing these effects up to 600 times. We are nowadays working on setting up a safe and reliable biochip or kit which predicts this risk easily in a routine test.

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.
