Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms in the endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP)1 and ERAP2 genes have been associated with several autoimmune diseases (AIDs) at a genome-wide significance level. In this study, we performed a cis expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) screen to investigate whether seven fine-mapped AID single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ERAP-region influence the gene-expression levels of...
