More specifically, we leverage bulk RNA sequencing data on four immune-cell types sorted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (CD14+ monocytes, B cells, CD4+ T cells, and NK cells) of 120 patients (63 Asian and 57 White individuals) from a multi-racial/ethnic cohort of individuals with physician-confirmed SLE. This evidence concerns the gene CD14 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
