Integrative genomic deconvolution of rheumatoid arthritis GWAS loci into gene and cell type associations
30 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 100 genetic loci associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), our ability to translate these results into disease understanding and novel therapeutics is limited. Most RA GWAS loci reside outside of protein-coding regions and likely affect distal transcriptional enhancers. Furthermore, GWAS do not identify the cell types where the...
