Increasing Ancestral Diversity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Clinical Studies

Jessica N. Williams et al.

Summary: Non-White people are at higher risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but are underrepresented in SLE clinical trials. Ancestrally diverse study populations are needed to optimize treatments, but barriers to entry are amplified for non-White populations. A conference was held to address these issues and discussed interventions to increase non-White patient participation in research.

Anti-RNP antibodies are associated with the interferon gene signature but not decreased complement levels in SLE

Erika L. Hubbard et al.

Summary: The study found complex relationships between anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), complement, and the interferon gene signature (IGS) in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with differences between different ancestral populations. Anti-RNP was more associated with African ancestry patients, while both anti-dsDNA and RNP were more associated with European ancestry patients. Additionally, the relationship between anti-RNP and complement was weak, while the relationship between anti-dsDNA and complement was strong.

Modular gene analysis reveals distinct molecular signatures for subsets of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus

J. L. Zhu et al.

Summary: This study utilized a modular analysis approach to evaluate the molecular heterogeneity of patients with CLE, identifying six unique clusters of patients. Elevated inflammation modules were observed in two clusters, with interferon, neutrophil, and cell-death signatures potentially driving the inflammatory response in these subgroups. Three clusters exhibited a predominant T-cell signature.

Global epidemiology of systemic lupus erythematosus

Megan R. W. Barber et al.

Summary: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that predominantly affects young women, with certain ethnic groups experiencing higher vulnerability and mortality rates. Global incidence and prevalence of SLE vary widely due to differences in population, environment, and socioeconomic factors. Inconsistent reporting is also influenced by variations in study design and case definitions.
