Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in the loci encoding immunoglobulin genes (IGH, IGK and IGL) affects the repertoire of B-cell receptors (BCRs). Such effects were previously demonstrated for total peripheral blood B cells, but so far have not been investigated at scale for isolated naïve B cells. As B cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, genetically encoded features of the naïve BCR repertoire may...
