Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disorder that predominantly affects women. While numerous factors may account for the etiology of SLE, the influence of gender-based sex hormones on the prevalence of SLE and autoimmune disorders among women is currently being evaluated.
