However, there are few published reports on beneficial effect of abatacept for refractory disease. We present a case of a woman in her 30s who presented with linear morphea on her scalp, with a notable response following the addition of subcutaneous abatacept.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Computational analysis was performed comparing the immune cell scores of skin biopsies from five morphea skin biopsies from three additional unique patients and 15 healthy control skin biopsies.
