September 2022 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study analyzed alopecia diagnoses and biopsy rates in lupus patients using data from the U.S. National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) from 2002-2016 and 2018. It found that only 12.42% of lupus patients with hair loss symptoms received a specific alopecia diagnosis, and just 3.68% underwent a biopsy. Additionally, dermatologists diagnosed alopecia more frequently than family medicine and other specialty groups. The findings suggest that alopecia is underdiagnosed and infrequently biopsied in lupus patients, highlighting the need for clinicians to consider more thorough diagnostic practices or referrals when alopecia is suspected.

May 2022 in “Diagnostics” The study examined the association of three lncRNA polymorphisms—HOTAIR rs10783618, LINC-ROR rs1942347, and MALAT1 rs3200401—with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 163 patients and matched controls. It found that HOTAIR rs10783618*C/C and MALAT1 rs3200401*T/T were linked to increased SLE risk, while MALAT1 rs3200401*T/C was associated with decreased risk. HOTAIR rs10783618*C/C was also linked to arthritis and oral ulcers, and rs10783618*T/T was associated with hair loss, weight loss, and neurological symptoms. These findings suggest that HOTAIR and MALAT1 polymorphisms may serve as molecular markers for SLE susceptibility and severity.
