Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune diseases arise from complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Genetic linkage scans show that different autoimmune diseases share overlapping susceptibility loci. Lymphocytes from individuals with different autoimmune diseases, as well as unaffected first-degree relatives, also share a common gene expression profile. We sought to determine if genes within this autoimmune...
