  • Title: Secondary Sjögren's syndrome and chromosome six markers.
    Author: Warlow RS, Kay PH, McCluskey J, Uko G, Dawkins RL.
    Journal: Tissue Antigens; 1985 May; 25(5):247-54. PubMed ID: 3861001.
    Abstract:
    Patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in association with either Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Sclerodactyly were tested for HLA-A, B and Dr antigens and the phenotypes of the 4th component of complement (CA). Significant associations were identified between HLA-Bw62, Dr4, C4B2.9, C4A8 and females with SS-RA. The MHC antigen frequencies noted for secondary Sjögren's syndrome differed from those reported for their respective primary diseases and the implications of these observations are discussed.
