In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The Morphea in Adults and Children (MAC) cohort is the first registry for both children and adults with morphea (also known as localized scleroderma) in the country. The purpose of the registry is to learn more about morphea, specifically: * How morphea behaves over time * How frequently specific problems occur along with morphea (for example, arthritis) * Whether morphea has an autoimmune background
