multi-GPA-Tree: Statistical Approach for Pleiotropy Informed and Functional Annotation Tree Guided Prioritization of GWAS Results [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified over two hundred thousand genotype-trait associations. Yet some challenges remain. First, complex traits are often associated with many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), most with small or moderate effect sizes, making them difficult to detect. Second, many complex traits share a

MIRACLE: Multi-task Learning based Interpretable Regulation of Autoimmune Diseases through Common Latent Epigenetics [PDF]
DNA methylation is a crucial regulator of gene transcription and has been linked to various diseases, including autoimmune diseases and cancers. However, diagnostics based on DNA methylation face challenges due to large feature sets and small sample sizes, resulting in overfitting and suboptimal performance. To address these issues, we propose MIRACLE,

A new stochastic differential equation modelling incidence and prevalence with an application to systemic lupus erythematosus in England and Wales, 1995 [PDF]
This article reformulates a common illness-death model in terms of a new system of stochastical differential equations (SDEs). The SDEs are used to estimate epidemiological characteristics and burden of systemic lupus erythematosus in England and Wales in 1995.

Systemic lupus erythematosus in African-American women: Cognitive physiological modules, autoimmune disease, and structured psychosocial stress [PDF]
Examining elevated rates of systemic lupus erythematosus in African-American women from perspectives of immune cognition suggests the disease constitutes an internalized physiological image of external structured psychosocial stress, a 'pathogenic social hierarchy' involving the synergism of racism and gender discrimination in the context of policy ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus with subacute cutaneous manifestation – acute on chronic.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) presents as a continuum, with some patients demonstrating only cutaneous manifestations, such as Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CCLE) or other more severe organ manifestations as in SLE.
