Apoptotic gene variants do not predispose to primary Sjögren’s syndrome in Australians
Statistics from Altmetric.com
A molecular genetic study has suggested that a common variant in the Fas gene promoter region prevents an autoimmune response to intracellular ribonucleoproteins in some patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome. How this relates to pathogenesis is unclear, but testing polymorphisms against other autoantigens that relocate to the cell surface during …
