    abstract = "Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease with a diverse clinical picture, extending from exocrine involvement to extraglandular  manifestations. Although pSS remains a disease of unknown etiology, an interaction  between genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers is thought to play a key  role in disease initiation and progress. Despite the extensive research during the  past years, the pathogenetic mechanisms are still elusive and effective therapeutic  intervention is still missing. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent  literature on the pathogenesis, clinical features and new therapeutic aspects of  pSS."
