Correlations of Expression Levels of a Panel of Genes (, , , , and ) and Cytokine Levels (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-, and TNF-) with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Outcomes in Jordanian Patients.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by systemic end-organ damage. We investigated the involvement of , , , , and genes and TNF-, IFN-, IL-2, IL-12, IL-6, and IL-10 cytokines in SLE pathogenesis and in organ damage in Jordanian patients. Blood was collected from 51 patients and 50 controls.
