This study was conducted to characterize the expression level of peripheral blood toll-like receptors 9 (TLR9), nuclear factor kappa-B protein 65 (NF-κB p65), and myeloid differentiation factor88 (MyD88) of active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and analyse their clinical significance. This evidence concerns the gene MYD88 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
