Gene expression signatures can stratify patients with heterogeneous diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), yet understanding the contributions of ancestral background to this heterogeneity is not well elucidated. We hypothesized that ancestry would significantly influence gene expression signatures and measured 34 gene modules in 1566 SLE patients of african (AA), european (EA) or native american (NAA) ancestry to determine the impact of ancestry on gene expression.
