Identification of 38 novel loci for systemic lupus erythematosus and genetic heterogeneity between ancestral groups

The presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus has been known to differ by ancestry, but the underlying genetic factors remain unclear. Here, the authors report ancestry-specific susceptibility loci and better risk prediction when using data from matched ancestral groups.
