Is indirect immunofluorescence on HEp-2000 substrate a sensitive method for detecting anti-Ro/SSA antibodies in patients with lupus erythematosus and/or photosensitivity?
Using the HEp-2000 substrate is a reliable, simple alternative method for detecting anti-Ro/SSA antibodies in a first-level screening test such as IIF, especially in patients with lupus erythematosus and/or photosensitivity.
IGF2*A allele and CDH1*C allele were correlated with leiomyoma susceptibility, which may be associated with leiomyoma development. MPO, urokinase, XPA and XPD polymorphisms are not related to leiomyoma susceptibilities.
