Abstract:
The article reviews the results of Russian and foreign studies concerning the search of susceptibility genes for widespread multifactorial diseases: Sjogren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. Studying regularity patterns of genome changes in autoimmune processes with ophthalmic manifestations and their correlation with the severity of dry keratoconjunctivitis will contribute to a better understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of eye manifestations of the diseases, and will also allow the development of new effective methods of diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
