Genetic susceptibility to lupus nephritis.

Abstract excerpt

Although cumulative evidence suggests that a genetic predisposition plays a major role in development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and/or lupus nephritis (LN), the susceptibility genes are mostly unknown. The difficulty in identifying susceptibility genes is due in part to multiple genes with variable genetic effects and the diverse genetic backgrounds of human populations. In human SLE, genes of early...
