Sjögren's syndrome is a common autoimmune disease (affecting ∼0.7% of European Americans) that typically presents as keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. Here we report results of a large-scale association study of Sjögren's syndrome. In addition to strong association within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region at 6p21 (Pmeta = 7.65 × 10(-114)), we establish associations with IRF5-TNPO3 (Pmeta = 2.73 × 10(-19)), STAT4 (Pmeta = 6.80 × 10(-15)), IL12A (Pmeta = 1.17 × 10(-10)), FAM167A-BLK (Pmeta = 4.97 × 10(-10)), DDX6-CXCR5 (Pmeta = 1.10 × 10(-8)) and TNIP1 (Pmeta = 3.30 × 10(-8)). We also observed suggestive associations (Pmeta < 5 × 10(-5)) with variants in 29 other regions, including TNFAIP3, PTTG1, PRDM1, DGKQ, FCGR2A, IRAK1BP1, ITSN2 and PHIP, among others. These results highlight the importance of genes that are involved in both innate and adaptive immunity in Sjögren's syndrome.
干燥综合征是一种常见的自身免疫性疾病(影响约 0.7%的欧洲裔美国人),通常表现为干燥性角膜结膜炎和口干。在这里,我们报告了干燥综合征的一项大规模关联研究结果。除了在 6p21 上人类白细胞抗原(HLA)区域内的强烈关联(Pmeta = 7.65 × 10(-114))之外,我们还与 IRF5-TNPO3(Pmeta = 2.73 × 10(-19))、STAT4(Pmeta = 6.80 × 10(-15))、IL12A(Pmeta = 1.17 × 10(-10))、FAM167A-BLK(Pmeta = 4.97 × 10(-10))、DDX6-CXCR5(Pmeta = 1.10 × 10(-8))和 TNIP1(Pmeta = 3.30 × 10(-8))建立了关联。我们还观察到 29 个其他区域的变异与干燥综合征存在提示性关联(Pmeta < 5 × 10(-5)),包括 TNFAIP3、PTTG1、PRDM1、DGKQ、FCGR2A、IRAK1BP1、ITSN2 和 PHIP 等。这些结果突出了参与固有和适应性免疫的基因在干燥综合征中的重要性。
