Connective Tissue & Autoinflammatory Disorders

Autoimmune connective tissue diseases and other autoinflammatory disorders encompass a spectrum of rare and challenging conditions that frequently present with dermatologic findings, are often associated with systemic comorbidities, and can have a tremendous impact on quality of life. These diseases rarely have FDA-approved therapies.

Goals of the Connective Tissue & Autoinflammatory Disorders Focused Study Group include improving our understanding of the pathogenesis, prognosis, and comorbidities of these conditions, identifying more reliable monitoring tools, and advancing therapeutic options for our patients.
