The genetic basis of systemic lupus erythematosus is not completely understood. Here, the authors perform multi-ancestry and multi-trait meta-analyses to identify 16 novel genetic loci and demonstrate the utility of polygenic risk score in clinical risk prediction when used with conventional lab tests.
