Our results indicated that the SNPs (rs2736340, rs13277113) of the FAM167A-BLK region, but not the BANK1 SNPs (rs4522865, rs17266594, and rs10516487), were associated with the development of pSS in Han Chinese.
Weak associations were observed when the SNPs in TNFSF4 (rs2205960, rs844648 and rs704840) and FAM167A-BLK (rs7812879, rs2254546 and rs2618479) were directly analyzed or analyzed under dominant model between pSS and controls (all P<0.05).
