Carrying the disease risk allele for Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is associated with decreased C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor 5 (CXCR5) gene expression. An expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis of microarray‐based CD19+ B cell mRNA expression and genotype data from 287 healthy subjects with regard to the disease risk allele T of rs4938573 in an additive model (0‐1‐2) demonstrates a significantly decreased CXCR5 gene expression (P < 0·01).
