  1. Two genetic pathways were significantly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) phenotypes in the discovery stage
  2. Abbreviations: SNP single-nucleotide polymorphism, P D P value discovery cohort, FDR D false discovery rate discovery cohort, P V P value validation cohort, FDR V false discovery rate validation cohort, P C P value combined
  3. aThe association between the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway and oral ulcers was significantly replicated in the validation cohort
