Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of C4A null allele (C4AQ0) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and determine the clinical presentation of SLE in relation to C4A null allele. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Rawalpindi, Immunology Department, from December 2018 to December 2019. METHODOLOGY: Patients referred to AFIP, who...
