Thus, we show strong evidence for an SLE susceptibility gene, SLEH1, near D11S2002 in African-American pedigrees multiplex for SLE that have at least one SLE-affected patient with hemolytic anemia.

In conclusion, an important SLE susceptibility gene, SLEH1 at 11q14, is identified in African-Americans when stratifying pedigrees by antinucleolar autoantibodies.
