LOINC description : This entity has two names: nucleolar organizing region (NOR) 90 versus human upstream
binding factor (hUBF). Both names are right, and the literature looking for the antibody
in autoimmune patients almost uniformly includes both names and the historical context.
NOR90 stuck because it was called that by the author of the original finding in autoimmune
patients (Rodriguez-Sanchez, et al, 1987), but a few years later (1994), the antigen
was found to be identical to already characterized hUBF. So we are stuck with the
2 names. hUBF is more technically specific, and at least one recent review calls it
anti-hUBF, formerly anti-NOR 90 (Journal of Dermatology 2010; 37: 42-53). So we will
use that as its primary name.;
