Open AccessInvestigation of a possible extended risk haplotype in the IL23R region associated with ankylosing spondylitis
The IL23R region on chromosome 1 exhibits complex associations with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We used publicly available epigenomic information and historical genetic association data to identify a putative re...

Open AccessA functional AT/G polymorphism in the 5′-untranslated region of SETDB2 in the IgE locus on human chromosome 13q14
The immunoglobulin E (IgE)-associated locus on human chromosome 13q14 influencing asthma-related traits contains the genes PHF11 and SETDB2. SETDB2 is located in the same linkage disequilibrium region as PHF11 an...

Open AccessTranscriptional repression and DNA loo** associated with a novel regulatory element in the final exon of the lymphotoxin-β gene
Transcriptional regulation has a critical role in the coordinate and context-specific expression of a cluster of genes encoding members of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily found at chromosome 6p21,...

Regulation of major histocompatibility complex class II gene expression, genetic variation and disease
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are central to adaptive immune responses and maintenance of self-tolerance. Since the early 1970s, the MHC class II region at chromosome 6p21 has been ...

Increased in vivo transcription of an IL-8 haplotype associated with respiratory syncytial virus disease-susceptibility
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of RSV-induced bronchiolitis. Previously, we have described an association between bronchiolitis disease severity and a specific IL-8 haplotype comp...
