📋Overview
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by overlapping features of systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, and polymyositis. It is primarily identified through the presence of specific autoantibodies, specifically anti-U1 ribonucleoprotein (RNP).
The condition is considered a distinct clinical entity rather than a temporary or legacy classification. Symptoms may not manifest simultaneously, often appearing in a sequential pattern over several years.
