An autoimmune disease risk variant has a <i>trans</i> master regulatory effect mediated by IRF1 under immune stimulation
2020-02-24
Abstract excerpt
Functional mechanisms remain unknown for most genetic loci associated to complex human traits and diseases. In this study, we first mapped trans -eQTLs in a data set of primary monocytes stimulated with LPS, and discovered that a risk variant for autoimmune disease, rs17622517 in an intron of C5ORF56 , affects the expression of the transcription factor IRF1 20 kb away. The cis-regulatory effect on IRF1 is acti...
