Despite great efforts, our knowledge of serum proteinpatterns in severe SLE phenotypes is still limited.Objectives: This study investigated the serum proteomic profile of SLE, in orderto identify relevant clinical patterns.Methods: Proximity extension immunoassay (PEA, Olink) was used toassess the serum levels of one hundred and eighty-four inflammation andorgan damage-related proteins in patients with SLE (n = 72) and agematched healthy donors (HD) (n = 18). In parallel, an extensive clinical andanalytical profile of recruited subjects was performed. To evaluate the contribution of molecular profiles to the disease severity, unsupervised clustering analyses were developed. %K Pisum sativum %K Proteomics %K Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic %~
