Abstract excerpt
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were closely associated with activation of type I interferon (IFN) pathway in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We aimed to study the genetic basis of NETs-DEFA1A3 copy number variations (CNV) in SLE and HapMap CHB+JPT populations by quantitative real-time PCR and whole genome sequences data. DEFA1A3 CNs did not differ significantly between SLE patients and controls....
