Very small: Many people who develop Raynaud`s disease never develop anything more. Scleroderma is very rarely genetically related. So may good fortune be yours.

Less chance: Since your mother has no other symptoms and ANA negative ,she has primary raynaud disease and less chance to get sclerderma .The person with secondary raynaud disease have associated pre -existing conditions like -scleroderma or lupus .
