Objective
B cell activating factor (BAFF) is a key regulator of Primary Sjögren’s
Syndrome (pSS), which is characterized by B lymphocyte hyperactivity.
BAFF is also known as TNF ligand superfamily member 13B (TNFSF13B). This
study aimed to explore whether five single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) of the TNFSF13B gene (rs9514827, rs1041569, rs9514828, rs1224141,
and rs12583006) are related to
pSS susceptibility.
