Anti-Ro52 antibody is highly prevalent and a marker of better prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer
(2021)Background and Aims: Anti-Ro52 antibody (Ab) reactivity is highly prevalent in autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), mainly Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but also in other inflammatory ... -
The autoimmunity–oral microbiome connection
(2017)To date, there is a major effort in deciphering the role of complex microbial communities, especially the oral and gut microbiomes, in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Increasing evidence indicates a key role for the ... -

(2015)Objective. To study the prevalence, clinical associations, and functional implications of the His159Tyr mutation of the BAFF receptor (BAFF-R) in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). Methods. The BAFF-R His159Tyr mutation ... -
A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjögren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ... -
From microbiome to infectome in autoimmunity
(2017)Purpose of review The current review discusses the pros and cons of the microbiome studies conducted in search of the association between microbiota and autoimmunity. Recent findings We focus on the role of infectome and ... -

The risk of lymphoma development in autoimmune diseases: A meta-analysis
(2005)Background: The risk of development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in autoimmune patients has been investigated in several cohort studies. These studies revealed inconclusive results. To shed some light on this controversy, ... -
A study of antigen-specific anti-cytomegalovirus antibody reactivity in patients with systemic sclerosis and concomitant anti-Ro52 antibodies
(2020)Anti-Ro52 autoantibody (autoAb), highly prevalent in Sjogren’s syndrome (SjS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is also frequent in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Viral agents, such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), have ...
