Abstract
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), or overlap syndrome, is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by a combination of clinical features similar to those of polymyositis, systemic sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. MCTD patients present with a distinct rise (high titers) of anti-U1 ribonucleoprotein antibody in serum.
