Outline of Final Research Achievements

Genomic DNA samples from 190 primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) patients and ethnically matched 428 healthy controls were collected. Several lupus susceptible genes were evaluated using TaqMan Genotyping Assay. The allele frequencies of lupus risk in SS were significantly higher in BLK (odds ratio (OR) =1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.21-2.15), STAT4 (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.43-2.36), IRF5 (OR=1.40, 95%CI:1.07-1.82) and rs10798269 in 1q25.1 region (OR=1.62, 95%CI:1.20-2.18), compared with those in healthy controls. No significant associations were found in BANK1, TNFSF13, TNFAIP3 and TNFSF4. BLK, STAT4, IRF5 and 1q25.1 region were not only lupus susceptible genes but SS susceptible genes in Japanese population. SS share, in part, common genetic background with SLE.
