The clinical presentation of anti-RNAP III positive patients1 onset of Raynaud s phenomenon RP and SSc in unselected patients in a rheumatology clinic were evaluated. Methods Autoantibodies in sera from I1966 unselected patients including 434 systemic lupus erythematosus SLE 119 SSc 85 polymyositis dermatomyositis PM DM in a rheumatology clinic were screened by radioimmunoprecipitation. Anti-RNAP III positive sera were also tested by immunofluorescence antinuclear antibodies and anti-RNAP III ELISA. Medical records of anti-RNAP III positive patients were reviewed. Results Among 21 anti-RNAP III positive patients1 16 met the American College of Rheumatology ACR SSc criteria at the initial visit but 5 did not diagnoses were vasculitis early polyarthritis renal failure with RP interstitial lung disease1 and Sjogren s syndrome. The first two patients developed rapidly progressive diffuse SSc. An additional case presented with diffuse scleroderma without RP and RP developed two years later. Anti-RNAP III antibodies in these 6 cases of atypical clinical presentation were compared with those in 15 cases of typical SSc with RP cases. Anti-RNAP .
