Objective: To investigate the possible implication of SDF1-3' polymorphism in systemic sclerosis (SSc) susceptibility or clinical phenotype, or both.Methods: 150 patients with SSc and 150 controls were enrolled. Skin involvement, autoantibodies, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), scleroderma renal crisis, past and/or current skin ulcers were assessed. Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP.Results: Genotype distribution and allele frequency were similar in SSc and controls. SDF1-3'A allele and SDF13'GA/AA genotype frequencies were significantly higher in SSc-PAH than in SSc-non-PAH (33.3% vs 18.3%, p = 0.01) and in SSc with skin ulcers than in SSc without ulcers (27.3% vs 16.9%, p = 0.03). The SDF1-3'A allele influenced the predisposition to SSc-related PAH (OR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.11 to 5.69, p = 0.02) and skin ulcers (OR= 2.31, 95% CI 1.18 to 4.52, p = 0.01). After adjustment for age and gender, the SDF1-3'A allele remained a susceptibility factor for the SSc-related vascular manifestations (PAH: OR= 2.37, 95% CI 1.04 to 5.42, p = 0.04; ulcers: OR= 2.33, 95% CI 1.78 to 4.62, p = 0.01).Conclusion: The SDF1-3'A allele is significantly associated with microvascular involvement in SSc.
