Microbial Agents as Putative Inducers of B Cell Lymphoma in Sj ögren's Syndrome through an Impaired Epigenetic Control: The State-of-The-Art.

Conclusions: Microorganisms may epigenetically modify target cells and induce their transcriptome to generate an activated or transformed phenotype. The occurrence of lymphoma in more than 15% of SS patients may be the end result of a combination of genetics, epigenetics, and dysbiosis or latent infections. PMID: 30723750 [PubMed - in process]
