Hemolytic anemia is a forme fruste of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), being observed months or even years before the onset of other clinical manifestations in some patients. We hypothesized that hemolytic anemia in those SLE-affected patients would identify a group of SLE pedigrees that share a high degree of genetic homogeneity. From 160 multiplex SLE pedigrees, we sought evidence for linkage in 35 (16 African-American, 17 European-American, and 2 Hispanic) who had at least one SLE… CONTINUE READING
