Scleroderma Registry and the DNA Repository Need Your Help – We are asking NIAMS (National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases) to extend financially the Scleroderma Registry with a grant from NIAMS in order to complete the valuable genetic research currently underway and to continue to support the Scleroderma Registry and the DNA Repository with future funding to help us find a cure for this devastating disease. The contact information is listed below. Please let them know how important this program is to us and how important this decision to grant the money is to scleroderma research. Thank you.
