Identifying shared genetic loci and common risk genes of rheumatoid arthritis associated with three autoimmune diseases based on large-scale cross-trait genome-wide association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Substantial links between autoimmune diseases have been shown by an increasing number of studies, and one hypothesis for this comorbidity is that there is a common genetic cause. Methods: In this paper, a large-scale cross-trait Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) was conducted to investigate the genetic overlap among rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease and type 1...
