Abstract excerpt
We recently demonstrated that normal memory B lymphocytes carry a substantial number of de novo mutations in the genome. Here, we performed exome-wide somatic mutation analyses of bona fide autoreactive rheumatoid factor (RF)-expressing memory B cells retrieved from patients with Sjӧgren's syndrome (SS). The amount and repertoire of the de novo exome mutations of RF B cells were found to be essentially different...
