Use of Global Gene Expression Profiling to Characterize Sjögren’s Patients Who Underexpress Interferon-Inducible Genes
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a progressive autoimmune exocrinopathy characterized by symptoms of dry eyes and mouth. We previously reported overexpression of interferon-inducible (IFI) genes…Abstract Number: 525 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Gene Expression Profiling in a Large Cohort of Europeans with Sjögren’s Syndrome Reveals Candidate Genes in Viral, Immune, and Interferon-Related Pathways
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, is a progressive autoimmune exocrinopathy present in 0.7-1% of Europeans. To better understand the…Abstract Number: 2674 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cis-Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis of Dysregulated Interferon-Pathway Genes Identifies HLA-C and OAS1 As Novel Candidates for Susceptibility to Sjögren’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a progressive autoimmune exocrinopathy characterized by symptoms of dry eyes and mouth present in 0.7-1% of Europeans. Dysregulation of interferon…
