CHRM3 and rheumatoid arthritis: When compared to RA patients without secondary Sjogren syndrome and healthy controls (20.09 ± 4.24, 18.36 ± 3.59 ng/ml respectively), the serum level of m3AChR antibodies among 30 RA patients with secondary Sjogren syndrome considerably increased (mean 25.98 ± 4.81 ng/ml).Analysis of the m3AChR’s (ROC)-curve revealed that the three groups under study differed significantly (P < 0.001), with the AUC (0.806), cutoff (> 22.63ng/ml), sensitivity (73.33%), and specificity (86.67%) all exceeding the threshold.
