Systemic sclerosis

Key Points

The research aims to identify genetic and environmental factors contributing to systemic sclerosis incidence.
Analyzed genetic risks and environmental exposures associated with systemic sclerosis.
Considered specific risk factors such as respirable crystalline silica and organic solvents.
Assessed incidence rates of systemic sclerosis in Canada.
Identified a genetic risk factor at 18% for developing systemic sclerosis.
Noted a connection between respiratory crystalline silica exposure and systemic sclerosis.
Reported an incidence rate of approximately 4 cases per 100,000 persons in Canada.

Abstract

The condition is associated with genetic risks (18%) and environmental and workplace exposures, including respirable crystalline silica (e.g., from construction, mining) and organic solvents (e.g., degreasers, paint thinners, adhesives).11 Incidence in Canada is roughly 4 per 100 000 person-
