Abstract

The article focuses on a study which defined the genetic and environmental factors contributing to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) among the Gullah population in the Sea Islands of South Carolina. The study compared the disease characteristics and serologic profiles of the Gullah population with two other cohorts of African Americans with SLE. It found that SLE severity in the Gullah population is similar to African Americans. It also found that skin and familial diseases are more prevalent in the Gullah population.
