title: A cytogenetic analysis of twenty cases of systemic scleroderma.
abstract: Cytogenetic studies were performed on 20 patients with diffuse scleroderma who had not received recent or high doses of irradiation; 1,267 cells were examined. Neither the culture medium composition nor the disease had any significant effect on the frequency of structural chromatidic or chromosomal abnormalities.
