Multi-disease associated risk locus in <i>IL6</i> represses the anti-inflammatory gene <i>GPNMB</i> through chromatin looping and recruiting MEF2-HDAC complex
2019-04-09
Abstract excerpt
We have previously revealed a genetic association between Takayasu arteritis and a non-coding genetic variant in an enhancer region within IL6 (rs2069837 A/G). The risk allele in this variant (allele A) has a protective effect against chronic viral infection and cancer. Using a combination of experimental and bioinformatics tools, we identified the monocyte/macrophage anti-inflammatory gene GPNMB , ∼520kb away,...
