  • Title: Familial localised scleroderma from Bangladesh: two case reports.
    Author: Wadud MA, Bose BK, Al Nasir T.
    Journal: Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull; 1989 Jun; 15(1):15-9. PubMed ID: 2818409.
    Abstract:
    Familial scleroderma is rare. There have been few reported cases of familial scleroderma in medical literature. This report adds one more instance to the literature. Two members in one family had clinically and histologically established localised scleroderma (morphea). The hereditary aspect of the disease has not been well established. But this instance along with the previous documented instance suggest that genetic factor may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of the disease.
