Autoantibodies to alpha-fodrin in primary Sjögren's syndrome and SLE detected by an in vitro transcription and translation assayG Nordmark
Section of Rheumatology, Centre for Laboratory Medicine, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden
Clin Exp Rheumatol 21:49-56. 2003..To investigate the prevalence of alpha-fodrin autoantibodies in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with and without secondary SS, using an in vitro transcription and translation assay (ITT)...
Association of EBF1, FAM167A(C8orf13)-BLK and TNFSF4 gene variants with primary Sjögren's syndromeG Nordmark
Section of Rheumatology, Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Genes Immun 12:100-9. 2011..EBF1, BLK and TNFSF4 are all involved in B-cell differentiation and activation, and we conclude that polymorphisms in several susceptibility genes in the immune system contribute to the pathogenesis of primary SS...
Additive effects of the major risk alleles of IRF5 and STAT4 in primary Sjögren's syndromeG Nordmark
Section of Rheumatology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Genes Immun 10:68-76. 2009..43, whereas carriers of five risk alleles have an OR of 6.78. IRF5 and STAT4 are components of the type I IFN system, and our findings emphasize the importance of this system in the etiopathogenesis of primary SS...
Effects of dehydroepiandrosterone supplement on health-related quality of life in glucocorticoid treated female patients with systemic lupus erythematosusGunnel Nordmark
Department of Medical Sciences, Section of Rheumatology, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden
Autoimmunity 38:531-40. 2005..Side effects were mild. We conclude that low dose DHEA treatment improves HRQOL with regard to mental well-being and sexuality and can be offered to women with SLE where mental distress and/or impaired sexuality constitutes a problem...
A polymorphic variant in the MHC2TA gene is not associated with systemic lupus erythematosusM V Prasad Linga-Reddy
Department of Genetics and Pathology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Tissue Antigens 70:412-4. 2007..We conclude that our data support neither allelic nor genotype association between the MHC2TA SNP and SLE...
TSGA10 - A target for autoantibodies in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 and systemic lupus erythematosusC J A Smith
Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Scand J Immunol 73:147-53. 2011..TSGA10 should be considered as an autoantigen in a subset of APS1 patients and also in a minority of SLE patients. No recognizable clinical phenotype could be found to correlate with positive autoantibody reactivity...
Increased carotid intima thickness and decreased media thickness in premenopausal women with systemic lupus erythematosus: an investigation by non-invasive high-frequency ultrasoundD Leonard
Department of Medical Sciences, Section of Rheumatology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Scand J Rheumatol 40:279-82. 2011....
Comprehensive evaluation of the genetic variants of interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) reveals a novel 5 bp length polymorphism as strong risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosusSnaevar Sigurdsson
Molecular Medicine, Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Hum Mol Genet 17:872-81. 2008..We have found that the same IRF5 allele also confers risk for inflammatory bowel diseases and multiple sclerosis, suggesting a general role for IRF5 in autoimmune diseases...
A risk haplotype of STAT4 for systemic lupus erythematosus is over-expressed, correlates with anti-dsDNA and shows additive effects with two risk alleles of IRF5Snaevar Sigurdsson
Molecular Medicine, Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University, SE 75185 Uppsala, Sweden
Hum Mol Genet 17:2868-76. 2008..82-fold risk of SLE with two independent risk alleles of the IRF5 (interferon regulatory factor 5) gene...
Polymorphisms in the tyrosine kinase 2 and interferon regulatory factor 5 genes are associated with systemic lupus erythematosusSnaevar Sigurdsson
Molecular Medicine, Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Am J Hum Genet 76:528-37. 2005..TYK2 binds to the type I IFN receptor complex and IRF5 is a regulator of type I IFN gene expression. Thus, our results support a disease mechanism in SLE that involves key components of the type I IFN system...
Three functional variants of IFN regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) define risk and protective haplotypes for human lupusRobert R Graham
Program in Medical and Population Genetics, Broad Institute of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:6758-63. 2007....
Mechanisms of Disease: primary Sjögren's syndrome and the type I interferon systemGunnel Nordmark
Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden
Nat Clin Pract Rheumatol 2:262-9. 2006..Several potential therapeutic targets for Sjögren's syndrome exist within the type I IFN system...
