ABSTRACT
The pathophysiology of primary Raynaud's phenomenon (Raynaud's disease) remains uncertain but the transmission of this primary microcirculatory dysregulation seems strongly influenced by genetic factors. For a long time, physicians have found that the hereditary factor plays an important role in the genesis of Raynaud's disease. Familial analysis and twin studies have confirmed the role of an hereditary factor. It seems heterogeneous but pedigree analysis indicates the possibility of an autosomal dominant transmission influenced by sex, in some families, allowing an approach called "reverse genetic" based on linkage analysis. Such an approach has focused on few loci but sequencing of candidate genes for genetic mutations remains negative. Given the supposed heterogeneity of the genetic transmission of Raynaud's disease, diversification of strategies in molecular genetics is suitable with reference to techniques applied to multifactorial heredity.
