Divided into subgroups, SLE patients harboring the hOGG1 1245 GG genotype had the highest plasma levels of 8-OHdG among patients with all genotypes, with regard to the coexistence of lupus nephritis (p = 0.020, ANOVA), including those with nephritis harboring the hOGG1 1245 CC or CG genotypes (p = 0.037), those without nephritis harboring the hOGG1 1245 GG genotype (p = 0.050), and those without nephritis harboring the hOGG1 1245 CC or CG genotype (p = 0.054). This evidence concerns the gene OGG1 and lupus nephritis.
