==Overview==
==[[Mixed connective tissue disease overview|Overview]]==
'''Mixed connective tissue disease''' ('''MCTD''') or ''Sharp's syndrome'' is a human [[autoimmune disease]] in which the [[immune system]] attacks the body. MCTD combines features of [[polymyositis]], [[systemic lupus erythematosus]], and [[systemic scleroderma]] and is thus considered an [[overlap syndrome]]. MCTD commonly causes [[arthritis|joint pain/swelling]], [[Raynaud phenomenon]], [[myositis|muscle inflammation]], and [[sclerodactyly|scarring of the skin of the hand]]. It does not typically cause [[kidney]] disease or [[seizure]]s. Distinguishing laboratory characteristics are a positive, speckled [[anti-nuclear antibody]] and an [[anti-U1-RNP antibody]].<ref>Venables PJ. ''Mixed connective tissue disease.'' Lupus. 2006;15(3):132-7. PMID 1663436</ref>
