Low genetic heterogeneity of copy number variations (CNVs) in the genes encoding the human deoxyribonucleases 1-like 3 and II potentially relevant to autoimmunity.
Deoxyribonucleases (DNases) might play a role in prevention of autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus through clearance of cell debris resulting from apoptosis and/or necrosis. Previous studies have suggested that variations in the in vivo activities of DNases I-like 3(1L3) and I...
