    Meta-analysis of Immunochip data of four autoimmune diseases reveals novel single-disease and cross-phenotype associations

    In recent years, research has consistently proven the occurrence of genetic overlap across autoimmune diseases, which supports the existence of common pathogenic mechanisms in autoimmunity. The objective of th...

    Genetic Association in the HLA Region

    The MHC/HLA region has been consistently associated with a large number of complex traits, including but not limited to, most immune-mediated ones. Efforts to pinpoint drivers of this commonly encountered asso...

    Genome-wide association study of primary sclerosing cholangitis identifies new risk loci and quantifies the genetic relationship with inflammatory bowel disease

    Konstantinos Lazaridis, Carl Anderson and colleagues report results of a genome-wide association study of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). They identify four new susceptibility loci for PSC and quantify t...

    Widespread non-additive and interaction effects within HLA loci modulate the risk of autoimmune diseases

    Soumya Raychaudhuri, Paul de Bakker and colleagues test the non-additive disease contributions of classical HLA alleles to five common autoimmune diseases. In four of the five diseases, they observe highly sig...

    Fine map** in the MHC region accounts for 18% additional genetic risk for celiac disease

    Cisca Wijmenga and colleagues report fine map** of the association signal in the MHC region in individuals with celiac disease. They identify five additional risk factors that are independent of HLA-DQ allel...
