Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a complex and heterogeneous disorder characterised by a wide spectrum of glandular and extra-glandular features. Novel insights into disease pathogenesis and the discovery of novel biomarkers are allowing us to characterise the disease not only phenotypically on the basis of clinical presentation, but also on the basis of the endotype. Ultimately, a better stratification of patients may pave new avenues for novel targeted therapies, opening new possibilities for the application of personalised medicine in pSS.
原发性干燥综合征(pSS)是一种复杂且异质性的疾病,其特征为广泛的腺体和腺体外表现。对疾病发病机制的新认识和新型生物标志物的发现,使我们不仅能够根据临床表现对疾病进行表型特征描述,还能够根据内型进行描述。最终,更好地区分患者可能为新型靶向治疗开辟新途径,为 pSS 中个性化医学的应用带来新的可能。
