PTEN and systemic lupus erythematosus: Additionally, PTEN expression followed a trend similar to that of LncRNA‐GAS5, that is SLE patients showed a substantially reduced PTEN expression than the healthy volunteers (P < .001; Figure 3C) and the rs145204276 ID/DD genotype had elevated PTEN levels than the rs145204276 II genotype (P < .001; Figure 3D).
