Comparison of gene clusters in autoimmune diseases. a Log2(GC-A/GC-B) was compared between patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), untreated multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The GC-A/GC-B log-ratios are comparable in SLE and IIM. RA patients display less distinctive log-ratios for GC-A and GC-B. Untreated patients with MS are characterized by either GC-A or GC-B dominance. b Confirmation of these findings using publicly available microarray data. IFN interferon
