Moreover, with regards to correlations with other SLE-associated biomarkers tested during the follow-up (Fig. 5C), anti-dsDNA Ab trajectories in the DP + group were correlated with the ANA titer on HEp-2 cells (RmCorr = 0.36, p = 4.3x10−52), serum albumin (RmCorr = −0.35, p = 1.5x10−41), and anti-ribosomal Ab level (RmCorr = 0.312, p = 5.8x10−36). Here, BTG3 is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus.
