The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of rs2232365 (-924 G > A) and rs3761548 (-3279 C > A) FOXP3 variants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility, TGF-β1 plasma levels, autoantibodies, and LN nephritis, and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI). This evidence concerns the gene FOXP3 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
