Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the potential causal correlations between circulating expression levels of six growth factors - epidermal growth factor (EGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and nerve growth factor (NGF) - and the risk of developing Sjögren's syndrome (SS), from the...
