SLE is associated with a deficiency in cluster of differentiation 247 (CD247, also known as CD3 zeta chain), a component of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex. A comprehensive analysis showed that in more than half of SLE patients tested CD247 expression was either attenuated or absent. Recent evidence suggests that these variations in expression profiles may be due, at least in part, to polymorphisms in the...
