Abstract excerpt
Common variants strongly influence the risk of human autoimmunity. Two categories of variants contribute substantially to the risk: (i) coding variants of HLA genes and (ii) non-coding variants at the non-HLA loci. We recently developed a novel analytic pipeline of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire to understand how HLA coding variants influence the risk. We identified that the risk variants increase the frequency...
