中科院心理所王晶研究组与其合作者,开展了世界上首个针对原发性干燥综合征的全基因组关联研究(通过扫描全基因组层面上的单核苷酸多态性来鉴别疾病易感基因的研究方法)。通过对1 845例病例和3 777例健康对照样本的分析(均为中国汉族人),该研究团队鉴别出新的原发性干燥综合征易感基因:GTF2IRD1和GTF2I。有研究证据表明,这两个基因与威廉氏症候群(Williams-Beuren Syndrome) Wang Jing, CAS Institute of Psychology, and his collaborators conducted the world’s first genome-wide association study of Sjogren’s syndrome (scanning for genome-wide SNPs to identify disease susceptibility genes Research methods). Based on an analysis of 1845 cases and 3777 healthy controls (all Han Chinese), the team identified new susceptible genes for primary Sj (s) syndrome: GTF2IRD1 and GTF2I. There is research evidence that these two genes and Williams-Williams syndrome (Williams-Beuren Syndrome)
