Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by dysregulated B cell responses and pathogenic autoantibody production. Given the central role that B cells play in SLE pathogenesis, we aimed to characterize genetic variation within the B cell compartment of African ancestry (AFR) women with SLE who are disproportionately and more severely affected by SLE. Here, we analyzed...
