✦ Synopsis

Major advances in understanding the genetic foundation of systemic lupus erythematosus are in the offing. Genetic association studies suggest multiple effects that include those encoded by the HLA region, the genes for Fcgamma receptors and other genes such as that for the mannose-binding protein. Genome scan studies suggest many (at least twelve) genetic linkages with lupus. Identifying the genes linked with lupus is likely to require many years of concerted effort, as well as the availability and evaluation of much larger pedigree collections.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease with partially understood etiology, which can affect virtually any organ. Despite suggestions to the contrary, SLE is proving to be a reliable phenotype for genetic studies. Similar to many other autoimmune diseases, SL

Recent progress towards elucidating the genetic basis for susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has provided insights into the manner in which individual susceptibility genes contribute to disease pathogenesis. Studies in animal models of systemic autoimmunity suggest that genes in th
