European population substructure is associated with mucocutaneous manifestations and autoantibody production in systemic lupus erythematosus
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 08/11/09

Chung SA et al. – This study demonstrates that specific SLE manifestations vary according to Northern versus Southern European ancestry.
