IKZF3 and systemic lupus erythematosus: Importantly, over 20% of genes that were modulated by iberdomide are known to be direct targets of Ikaros and Aiolos, in line with the known ability of iberdomide to induce the degradation of Ikaros and Aiolos.26 Although this is an exploratory analysis on a small number of patients, unsupervised hierarchical clustering identified a number of differentially expressed genes, many of which are known to be regulated by Ikaros/Aiolos, but also involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.
