Abstract
Our findings suggest that patients with cutaneous discoid lupus erythematosus have an increased risk of atherosclerosis due to the marked dyslipidemia associated with the disease. The reduced levels of HDL subfractions, HDL2 and HDL3, are believed to contribute to the dyslipidemic profile and further provide an important target for therapeutic intervention.
