Deficiencies in the recognition and engulfment of apoptotic cells have been reported in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Breakdown of immune homeostasis contributes to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
SLE patients had higher risks of vagina/vulva (SIR = 3.27 , 95 % CI = 2.41 -4.31) and liver cancers (SIR = 2.70 , 95 % CI = 1.54 -4.24).
To evaluate the risks of other cancers in BRCA1 mutation carriers , we conducted a cohort study of 11 847 individuals from 699 families segregating a BRCA1 mutation that were ascertained in 30 centers across Europe and North America.
