Transancestral mapping and genetic load in systemic lupus erythematosus
Langefeld, C.; Ainsworth, H.; Cunninghame Graham, D.; Kelly, J.; Comeau, M.; Marion, M.; Howard, T.; Ramos, P.; Croker, J.; Morris, D.; Sandling, J.Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with marked gender and ethnic disparities. We report a large transancestral association study of SLE using Immunochip genotype data from 27,574 individuals of European (EA), African (AA) and Hispanic Amerindian (HA) ancestry. We identify 58 distinct non-HLA regions in EA, 9 in AA and 16 in HA (∼50% of these regions have multiple independent association...
Systemic lupus erythematosus in Europe at the change of the millennium:Lessons ...
Cervera, R.; Abarca-Costalago, M.; Abramovicz, D.; Allegri, F.; Annunziata, P.; Ayditung, A.; Bacarelli, M.; Bellisai, F.; Bernardino, I.The bEuro-Lupus CohortQ is composed by 1000 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that have been followed prospectively since 1991. These patients have been gathered by a European consortium—the bEuro-Lupus Project GroupQ. This consortium was originated as part of the network promoted by the bEuropean Working Party on SLEQ, a working group created in 1990 in order to promote research in Europe on the...
