Abstract
Patients with localized scleroderma underwent an 8-week course of ultraviolet A1 phototherapy. At baseline, decorin levels of lesional skin were significantly lower than those of nonlesional skin and healthy control subjects. After ultraviolet A1 phototherapy, decorin levels of lesional skin were significantly higher than baseline. Decorin may be of significance in the pathogenesis of localized scleroderma.
