A member asked:

Is it possible that cryofibrinogenemia could occasionally cause a positive anticentromere antibody and ana centromere pattern to appear?

Not exactly: If it happens it is not the crofibrinonogenemia causing it. It would be either a false result or other underlying process.

Unrelated: If you have these problems, they are more likely related to the disease process itself.
