Integrative genetic and epigenetic analysis uncovers regulatory mechanisms of autoimmune disease
2016-05-19
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (AID) have uncovered hundreds of loci mediating risk 1,2 . These associations are preferentially located in non-coding DNA regions 3,4 and in particular to tissue-specific Dnase I hypersensitivity sites (DHS) 5,6 . Whilst these analyses clearly demonstrate the overall enrichment of disease risk alleles on gene regulatory regions, they are n...
