Interestingly, anti-IFN Ab can be present in #SLE pts and impact the IFN signature.
There is a bimodal type I IFN signature in #SLE.
IFN and Blys signatures overlap (?distinct populations/interactions between the two?) - Prof T Dorner #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/phLXv2KVxR

#OP0142 #EULAR2022 Morand compared LLDAS in Early (<1yr) and Established #lupus. Although Early were younger & had higher disease activity, time-to-LLDAS was shorter.
