Weighted mean AR CAG repeat length is inversely correlated with clinical and humoral immune manifestations of lupus at the time of entry into the study. Top Panel: number of lupus diagnostic criteria identified in patients as a function of the weighted mean AR CAG repeat length. Middle panel: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index as a function of the weighted mean AR CAG repeat length for 23 lupus subjects. Bottom panel: levels of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) determined by immunoassay are shown as a function of the weighted mean AR CAG repeat length.
