Anti-centromere antibody positivity with coexisting idiopathic portal hypertension and primary biliary cholangitis progressing to limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis: a case report

Abstract Background Anti-centromere antibodies are autoantibodies that selectively bind to the centromere region of chromosomes.
