Popis: Objective: to estimate frequency of autoantibodies in a cohort of Russian patients with systemic sclerosis (SS) and to investigate clinical associations of these autoantibodies.Subjects and methods. In 2012 to 2015, the investigation enrolled 300 patients (58 men and 242 women) who fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) SS criteria. All patients underwent immunological examination including determination of antinuclear antibodies, anti-topoisomerase I (anti-Scl-70) antibodies, anti-centromere antibodies (ACA), anti-U1-ribonucleoprotein antibodies (anti-U1 RNP), and anti-RNP III antibodies.Results and discussion. The vast majority of patients were middle-aged females with moderate disease duration. There was a preponderance of patients with limited cutaneous form (55.3%); 37.4% patients had diffuse SS; 5.9% had overlap syndrome; and
