Open AccessMeta-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...

Genome-wide association study implicates immune activation of multiple integrin genes in inflammatory bowel disease
Jeffrey Barrett, Carl Anderson and colleagues report the results of a large genome-wide association study of inflammatory bowel disease. They identify 25 new genome-wide significant loci, 3 of which contain in...

Article
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...

Dense genoty** of immune-related disease regions identifies nine new risk loci for primary sclerosing cholangitis
Tom Karlsen and colleagues report an association study for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a severe liver disease, using the Immunochip array. They identify nine loci newly associated with PSC and examin...

Identification of multiple independent susceptibility loci in the HLA region in Behçet's disease
Amr Sawalha and colleagues performed dense genoty** in the HLA locus followed by imputation to fine map genetic variants associated with Behçet's disease in this region. They report four independent genetic ...

Bayesian inference analyses of the polygenic architecture of rheumatoid arthritis
Eli Stahl, Robert Plenge and colleagues report the application of a polygenic analysis, using a Bayesian inference framework, to rheumatoid arthritis GWAS datasets. They find that polygenic risk scores are ass...
