Connective Tissue Diseases

Information about Connective Tissue Diseases: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Connective Tissue Diseases

Most recent studies have shown that Connective Tissue Diseases shares some biological mechanisms with arthritis, autoimmune-diseases, autoimmune-reaction, collagen-diseases, dermatomyositis, diffuse-scleroderma, fibrosis, hypertensive-disease, lung-diseases, lupus-erythematosus-systemic, marfan-syndrome, mixed-connective-tissue-disease, pulmonary-hypertension, raynaud-disease, rheumatism, rheumatoid-arthritis, scleroderma, sclerosis, sjogrens-syndrome, vasculitis.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Connective Tissue Diseases, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Angiogenesis, Cell Activation, Cell Adhesion, Cell Proliferation, Coagulation, Excretion, Hypersensitivity, Immune Response, Inflammatory Response, Localization, Ossification, Pathogenesis, Proteolysis, Reflex, Secretion, Translation, Transport, Vasoconstriction, Wound Healing

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Connective Tissue Diseases, such as ABCC6, C3, CALR, CDSN, COL1A2, CRP, DMPK, ELN, ESR1, FBN1, FN1, IL2, IL6, PAH, PRB1, RNPC3, SSB, TNF, TRIM21.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
