Deep stratification by transcriptome molecular characters for precision treatment of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Rheumatology (Oxford)Published Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

We developed the largest cohesive SLE transcriptomic compendium for deep stratification using the most comprehensive microarray and RNA sequencing datasets to date.

Study context

Population
PBMC transcription profiles of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy controls from six microarray datasets (13,689 genes)six microarray datasets
