Abstract excerpt
The development of systemic lupus is accelerated by the Yaa (Y-linked autoimmune acceleration) mutation, which is the consequence of a translocation of the telomeric end containing the Tlr7 gene from the X chromosome onto the Y chromosome. However, the loss of marginal zone (MZ) B cells, one of the Yaa-linked cellular abnormalities, has previously been shown to be unrelated to the Tlr7 gene duplication, and the...
