    Description

    The IRF5-SLE risk haplotype is associated with SLE disease severity. We hypothesized that neutrophils from healthy risk donors would carry a pathogenic gene signature compared to non-risk donors. To compare basal neutrophil gene signature between risk and non-risk healthy individuals, fresh whole blood was collected from healthy donors, and granulocytes were extracted from the remaining pellet following...

    Description

    Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are rare, debilitating, antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system. Prior studies show associations of NMOSD with individual Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles and the complement pathway. HLA allele associations with NMOSD are inconsistent between populations, suggesting complex relationships between the identified alleles...
