Deskripsi
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) shows a striking bias towards higher prevalence in females. Here, the authors perform fine-mapping of an SLE-associated locus at Xp21.2 and characterise a candidate gene, CXorf21, as IFN-responsive in immune cells that shows sexually dimorphic expression.
