▶Features associated with, and the impact of, hemolytic anemia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: LX, results from a multiethnic cohortAssociationN=628Sergio Durán et al.(2008)· Arthritis Care & Research
This study examined hemolytic anemia in 628 SLE patients from the LUMINA multiethnic cohort, analyzing associations with FCGR and Fas/FasL polymorphisms and clinical outcomes. Key findings: FCGR2B-I131T, FasL-205, and FasL-844 polymorphisms showed association with hemolytic anemia; independent risk factors for hemolytic anemia included African American ethnicity (OR 4.21), thrombocytopenia (OR 2.38), and azathioprine use (OR 2.25). Hemolytic anemia was associated with damage accrual but not mortality.
About FCGR3B
The protein encoded by this gene is a low affinity receptor for the Fc region of gamma immunoglobulins (IgG). The encoded protein acts as a monomer and can bind either monomeric or aggregated IgG. This gene may function to capture immune complexes in the peripheral circulation. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A highly-similar gene encoding a related protein is also found on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
