Conventional biomarkers exhibit limitations regarding their sensitivity and specificity. Recent research highlights the importance of DNA methylation, particularly in the PARP9 gene, in relation to these diseases. This study examines PARP9 promoter methylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from SLE and RA patients to evaluate its diagnostic potential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, we assessed the quantitative methylation levels of the PARP9 promoter in PBMCs from 75 SLE patients, 75 RA patients, and an equal number of healthy controls using methylation-quantification of endonuclease-resistant DNA (MethyQESD) method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study revealed significant hypomethylation of the PARP9 promoter in both SLE and RA patients compared to control group (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001).
