Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To screen for the Ro52 gene encoding the 52-kd Ro autoantigen for possible mutations and polymorphisms associated with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS). METHODS: The restriction enzyme fragment-single-strand conformation polymorphism method was used to search for mutations and polymorphisms in the Ro52 gene in 97 patients with primary SS and 72 healthy control subjects. The results were verified by...
