Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on lupus nephritis, a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, particularly in Asian populations, and examines the role of specific gene variants in this condition.
- Researchers analyzed 152 SLE patients with lupus nephritis and 76 healthy controls, looking specifically at SNPs in the STAT4, CDKN1A, and IRF5 genes, alongside clinical assessments and renal biopsies.
- Findings indicate that carriers of a specific variant (rs7582694 C alleles) in the STAT4 gene have a significantly higher risk of developing lupus nephritis and a more severe disease presentation, while no significant associations were found with CDKN1A or IRF5
