  • Publication number: 20110027822
    Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials involved in diagnosing SLE. For example, this document relates to methods and materials involved in diagnosing SLE, diagnosing severe SLE, and assessing a mammal's susceptibility to develop severe SLE. For example, this document provides nucleic acid arrays that can be used to diagnose SLE in a mammal. Such arrays can allow clinicians to diagnose SLE based on a simultaneous determination of the expression levels of many genes that are differentially expressed in SLE patients as compared to healthy controls. In addition, methods and materials for assessing SLE activity, determining the likelihood of experiencing active SLE, and detecting SLE treatment effectiveness are provided herein.
