Furthermore, other autoantibodies might be present in SLE patients, such as anti-Scl-70 antibodies (present in systemic sclerosis), anti-La, and anti-Ro antibodies (present in Sjogren disease), anticardiolipin antibodies, and anti-phospholipid antibodies thus indicating a wide association between SLE and other autoimmune diseases [3]. The gene discussed is SSB; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
