<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is a female-predominant disease characterized by autoimmune B cells and pathogenic autoantibody production. Individuals with two or more X chromosomes are at increased risk for SLE, suggesting that X-linked genes contribute to the observed sex-bias of this disease. To normalize X-linked gene expression between sexes, one X in female cells is randomly selected fo...
