Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is mediated by autoreactive antibodies that damage multiple tissues. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) link >60 loci with SLE risk, but the causal variants and effector genes are largely unknown. We generated high-resolution spatial maps of SLE variant accessibility and gene connectivity in human follicular helper T cells (TFH), a cell type required for anti-nuclear...
