Is there a need to routinely monitor #ANA in patients treated on #TNF inhibitors? The jury👨⚖️is still out. Of N=211, Dr Oliveira reported 75.4% had seroconversion at median 31mths of TNFi therapy. Only 2/211 (0.9%) developed SLE (mild symptoms) #EULAR2021 #POS0204 @RheumNow https://t.co/UrFucJ9xnJ

#MachineLearning to unravel pathways associated with #SLE. Dr Morand analysed N=1760 pts from RCTs. Using deep learning algorithms, they identified novel pathways (CD4 Tcell Differentiation, Macrophage and DCs) in addition to known #IFN and #JAKSTAT #EULAR2021 #POS0351 @RheumNow https://t.co/Gc7zL8JQZe
