Serum TNC concentration demonstrated a weak trend toward decreased serum concentration with disease duration in all cohorts ( r = 0.03, P = 0.32; r = 0.05, P = 0.17; r = 0.04, P = 0.28).

The relatively small number of cases in each cohort is a major limitation and may explain why only trends of association were observed for some of the proteins that had been highly significant by Olink assay in the derivation BIOPSY cohort.
