In an attempt to define an IFN-signature for SjS-like disease, and one that is translatable for human SjS, follow-up studies have recently been carried out in order to analyze temporal gene-expression profiles generated for both salivary and lacrimal glands isolated from C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice for known IFN-encoding IRGs/ISGs (Peck and Nguyen, 2012). Here, IFNA1 is linked to Schwartz-Jampel syndrome.
