Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Subgroup 1

Healthy Volunteers - subset of which 10 will receive salivary gland biopsy.

Procedure: Biopsy
Salivary Gland

Subgroup 2

Diagnosis of pSS based on the criteria of the American-European Consensus Criteria for Sjögren's Syndrome (AECCSS) with positive biopsy result.

Procedure: Biopsy
Salivary Gland

Subgroup 3

Diagnosis of pSS based on the criteria of the American-European Consensus Criteria for Sjögren's Syndrome (AECCSS) with negative biopsy result.

Procedure: Biopsy
Salivary Gland

Subgroup 4

Presenting with sicca but not satisfying the criteria of the AECCSS for diagnosis of pSS.

Procedure: Biopsy
Salivary Gland

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  2. Gene expression levels in immune cells (innate and adaptive) in blood samples from participants with and without pSS including healthy volunteers [Up to 12 months]

  3. Gene expression levels in epithelial cells in salivary gland biopsy samples from participants with and without pSS including healthy volunteers [Up to 12 months]

  4. Gene expression levels in epithelial cells in blood samples from participants with and without pSS including healthy volunteers [Up to 12 months]
