Mapping inherited genetic variation with opposite effects on autoimmune disease and cancer identifies candidate drug targets associated with the anti-tumor immune response

2023-12-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Germline alleles near genes that encode certain immune checkpoints ( CTLA4 , CD200 ) are associated with autoimmune/autoinflammatory disease and cancer but in opposite directions. This motivates a systematic search for additional germline alleles which demonstrate this pattern with the aim of identifying potential cancer immunotherapeutic targets using human genetic evidence. <h4>Methods</h4> P...
