Evaluation of salivary and plasma microRNA expression in patients with Sj ögren's syndrome, and correlations with clinical and ultrasonographic outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that salivary mi146a may represent a marker of the disease, and that the expression of salivary miR17, 18a and 146b may be altered in patients with pSS, and associated with worse ultrasound and ESSPRI scores and anti-La/SSB positivity.
