Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, and its genetic causes remain to be fully elucidated. Previous studies have identified several susceptibility genes for SLE, such as deoxyribonuclease 1‑like 3. In the present study, whole‑genome sequencing (30X coverage) was performed on the leukocytes of a monozygotic twin discordant for SLE to assess the potential association of de novo variants and...
