Combined genetic and transcriptome analysis of patients with SLE: distinct, targetable signatures for susceptibility and severity

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) diagnosis and treatment remain empirical and the molecular basis for its heterogeneity elusive. We explored the genomic basis for disease susceptibility and severity. METHODS: mRNA sequencing and genotyping in blood from 142 patients with SLE and 58 healthy volunteers. Abundances of cell types were assessed by CIBERSORT and cell-specific effects by interaction terms...
