Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease with incompletely understood etiology, has a strong genetic component. Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed multiple SLE susceptibility loci and associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the precise causal variants, target genes, cell types, tissues, and mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. METHODS:...
