Septin 7 was not described in association with autoimmune diseases to date, however, septin 7 was studied in other diseases such as acute myeloid leukemia, where septin 6, forming a complex with septins 2 and 7, showed significantly lower expression in the spinal cord of patients, indicating deficient regulation of cell cycle [49]. This evidence concerns the gene SEPTIN2 and acute myeloid leukemia.
