SLE patients who had decreasing IFN score by at least 50% between first and second visit (N = 32; P <0.0001, Figure 3C) displayed a significant decrease in STAT1 (P = 0.0002) and CXCL10 (P = 0.0002), but not in CCL2 and miR-146a. This evidence concerns the gene STAT1 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
