Pi-greek is a kit for the diagnosis of Sjogren’s syndrome (SjS). Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterised by the self-destruction of lachrymal and salivary glands ultimately leading to mouth and eye dryness and to several other discomforts.
Current diagnosis is time-consuming, usually requiring 4 years, while our system will allow to give a precise and rapid diagnosis.
The kit exploits a specific marker of the disease using our technology, which allows to reach high-degrees of sensibility (98.8%) and specificity (90%).
The kit is patient-friendly because it enables clinicians to diagnose the disease by a blood analysis without incurring in labial biopsy, a common clinical practice for definitive SjS diagnosis.
We evaluated the sensibility of the kit as high as 98.8% while the specificity is 90%.
