Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis of human autoimmune diseases remains incompletely understood, despite significant progress from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). In this review we outline how studies in mice may help filling these knowledge gaps. Forward genetic approaches including mutagenesis screens and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping studies can identify candidate genes for in depth analysis in human patient...
