Abstract

Our data suggest a role of the HLA-DRB1*1501-*0301 heterozygote genotype in susceptibility to primary SS. Moreover, the HLA-DRB1*1501-*0301 genotype was also found to be associated with a particular form of the disease characterized by RP, hematologic manifestations, and autoantibody production.
