Do alleles from chromosomes 1 and 3 of NOD mice combine to influence Sjögren 's syndrome-like autoimmune exocrinopathy?
Alleles on chromosomes 1 (Idd5) and 3 (Idd3) in combination appear to greatly influence susceptibility and resistance to development of autoimmune exocrinopathy. The association with certain Idd, but not other Idd loci, indicate that genetic overlap is present but probably not inclusive.
Utilization of the paretic upper limb in activities of daily living requires high functional ability. The increase in self-reported arm use after TST is dependent on the change in functional ability. These results provide further guidance for rehabilitation decisions.
