  1. Values are presented as n (%) from a sample of 121 patients with SSc, 46 patients with SLE, and 25 HBD. aCutoffs were defined using receiver operating characteristic analysis; bpercentage of FOXE3p53-62+ samples that were also positive for Ap1-17 and/or Ap17-30. ACA, anti-centromere-associated protein antibodies; SSc, systemic sclerosis; SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus; HBD, healthy blood donors.
