[[Autoimmune disease]]
* [[Dermatomyositis]]
* [[Dermatomyositis]] - may have [[autoantibody|autoantibodies]] to [[histidine-tRNA ligase]] (anti-synthetase, [[Jo-1 antibody]]) and to PM-Scl nucleolar antigen complex
* [[Mixed connective tissue disease]] (MCTD). MCTD is an overlap between systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, and polymyositis. Most patients with MCTD have [[autoantibody|autoantibodies]] to [[U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein]]s (anti-U1 snRNP OR anti-U1 RNP)
* [[Polymyalgia rheumatica]]
* [[Rheumatoid arthritis]] - 80% a positive [[rheumatoid factor]] ([[autoantibody|autoantibodies]] against [[gamma-chain immunoglobulin]]s)

===Autoimmune disease===
Connective tissue disease due to [[autoimmune disease]] may have detectable [[autoantibody|autoantibodies]] to [[autoantigen]]s such as:
*  [[Histidine-tRNA ligase]] (anti-synthetase, [[Jo-1 antibody]]) and to PM-Scl nucleolar antigen complex with [[dermatomyositis]].
* [[U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein]]s (anti-U1 snRNP OR anti-U1 RNP) with [[mixed connective tissue disease]].
* [[Gamma-chain immunoglobulin]]s in [[rheumatoid arthritis]].
* [[SS-A antigen]] (Anti-Ro antigen) or [[SS-B antigen]] (Anti-La antigen) with [[Sjogren's Syndrome]]
* [[Centromere]] or [[DNA topoisomerase I]] (Anti-Scl-70) with [[scleroderma]]

In medicine and rheumatology, connective tissue diseases are "a heterogeneous group of disorders, some hereditary, others acquired, characterized by abnormal structure or function of one or more of the elements of connective tissue, i.e., collagen, elastin, or the mucopolysaccharides."[1]

Classification

Autoimmune disease

Cartilage disease

Collagen disease

Diagnosis

Autoimmune disease

Connective tissue disease due to autoimmune disease may have detectable autoantibodies to autoantigens such as:
