Molecular Reclassification to Find Clinically Useful Biomarkers for Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: Inception Cohort

Summary

Connective tissue diseases (CTD) or systemic autoimmune diseases (SADs) as they are known today are a group of chronic inflammatory conditions with autoimmune aetiology with few treatment options and difficult diagnosis.Brest team contribute to performe a new classification of the following systemic autoimmune diseases in a European Union's Seventh Framework Programme. The aim of this research consiteis to reclassify the individuals affected by SADs into molecular clusters instead of clinical entities through the determination of molecular profiles using several "Omics" techniques.
