Description : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic, remitting, relapsing, inflammatory,
and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, acute or insidious
at onset, is characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys,
and serosal membranes. Lupus erythematosus is thought to represent a failure of the
regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus See MAPPING and MOLECULAR GENETICS sections for a discussion of
genetic heterogeneity of susceptibility to SLE. An autosomal recessive form of systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLEB16; 614420) is caused by mutation in the DNASE1L3 gene (602244)
on chromosome 3p14.3.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Susceptibility to SLE caused by mutation in the receptor for Fc fragment of IgG, low
affinity IIa gene (FCGR2A, 146790.0001); Susceptibility to SLE caused by mutation in the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily,
member 6 gene (TNFSF6, 134638.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Antiphospholipid antibody; Anti dsDNA antibody; Serum antinuclear antibody;
Prefixed ID : #152700;
