An allele-specific functional SNP associated with two autoimmune diseases modulates <i>IRF5</i> expression by long-range chromatin loop formation
2019-01-29
Abstract excerpt
Both Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) are autoimmune diseases sharing similar genetic backgrounds. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have constantly disclosed numerous genetic variants conferring to both disease risks at 7q32.1, but the functional mechanisms underlying them are still largely unknown. Through combining fine-mapping and functional epigenomic analyses, we prioriti...
