Hypomethylation mediates genetic association with the major histocompatibility complex genes in Sjögren's syndrome.

Differential methylation of immune genes has been a consistent theme observed in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in CD4+ T cells, CD19+ B cells, whole blood, and labial salivary glands (LSGs). Multiple studies have found associations supporting genetic control of DNA methylation in SS, which in the abs...
