Brief Summary: This study will examine the possible relationship between silicone implants or injections and the connective tissue diseases scleroderma and myositis It will explore whether certain factors in the blood or the immune system or other factors are involved in the development of these diseases following silicone implantation or injection

Men and women 18 years of age and older who meet the following criteria may be eligible for this study

Group 1-Patients who have had silicone implants or injections and who later developed scleroderma or myositis

Group 2-Patients with scleroderma or myositis who have not had silicone implants or injections

Group 3-Healthy volunteers who have had silicone implants or injections and did not develop symptoms or other medical features of connective tissue disorders

Participants will have a thorough history and physical examination blood and urine tests chest X-ray and lung function tests In addition patients will complete a questionnaire about their procedure including information such as the types of implanted devices and injections reason for the procedure post-operative complications other illnesses or medical conditions present before and after the procedure etc
Detailed Description: This multicenter study will attempt to determine the epidemiologic clinical serologic and immunogenetic factors associated with patients who develop sclerodermasystemic sclerosis after silicone prosthesis implantation or silicone injection This will be accomplished by comparing these patients to groups of appropriately matched patients with idiopathic sclerodermasystemic sclerosis without silicone exposure and appropriately matched volunteers who have received similar silicone implants or injections and have not developed symptoms physical examination findings or laboratory abnormalities associated with autoimmuneconnective tissue diseases Patient and physician questionnaires will be self-administered and will collect data regarding the number and types of implanted silicone devices or injections the indications for and nature of the surgical procedures peri- and post-operative complications initial and subsequent clinical presentations and therapy and clinical course of the patients Routine clinical tests and immunologic laboratory evaluations will be performed Also studies will be conducted on the proportion of circulating activated lymphocytes and levels of soluble mediators of inflammation cytokines sIL-2R sCD4 sCD8 TNF the types of HLA and T cell receptor genes present in the patients and the presence and titers of anti-silicone antibodies and autoantibodies
