Abstract

Conclusion. This study provides the first formal proof that IRF-5 expression and alternative splicing are significantly up- regulated in primary blood cells of patients with SLE. Furthermore, the risk haplotype is associated with enhanced IRF-5 transcript and protein expression in patients with SLE.
