Monogenic lupus offers valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic approaches for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we report on five patients with SLE carrying recessive mutations in phospholipase D family member 4 (PLD4). Deleterious variants in PLD4 resulted in impaired single-stranded nucleic acid exonuclease activity in in vitro and ex vivo assays.

Pregnancies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and those positive for anti-SSA/SSB or antiphospholipid antibodies carry a heightened risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), including preeclampsia, preterm birth, and congenital heart block. Among available therapies, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) plays a pivotal role due to its immunomodulatory and antithrombotic properties, which may help improve pregnancy outcomes. Emerging evidence supports HCQ's role in reducing SLE flares, as well as lowering the recurrence risk of congenital heart block in anti-SSA/SSB-positive pregnancies.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are both autoimmune diseases influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, but rarely coexist. This case describes a 13-year-old girl with early onset of T1DM who was diagnosed with SLE 12 years later, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in distinguishing kidney involvement and management without exacerbating hyperglycemia. The patient presented with edema of the eyelids and lower limbs.

Neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (NUD) is a rare condition that clinically resembles urticaria but is distinguished histopathologically. Given the overlap of clinical and histopathologic features between NUD, urticaria, and urticarial vasculitis (UV), distinguishing between these diagnoses is crucial, as their treatments differ significantly. A 47-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with a mildly pruritic, burning rash for one week.

The coexistence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Crohn disease (CD) is rare and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to overlapping clinical, radiologic, and histologic features. We present a 24-year-old woman with SLE, chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and newly diagnosed CD treated with risankizumab, an interleukin-23 inhibitor approved for CD. She achieved complete clinical and radiologic remission of CD without SLE flares over 12 months.
