Sjögren's disease is a complex autoimmune disease with twelve established susceptibility loci. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies ten novel genome-wide significant (GWS) regions in Sjögren's cases of European ancestry: CD247, NAB1, PTTG1-MIR146A, PRDM1-ATG5, TNFAIP3, XKR6, MAPT-CRHR1, RPTOR-CHMP6-BAIAP6, TYK2, SYNGR1. Polygenic risk scores yield predictability (AUROC = 0.71) and relative risk of 12.08. Interrogation of bioinformatics databases refine the associations, define local regulatory networks of GWS SNPs from the 95% credible set, and expand the implicated gene list to >40. Many GWS SNPs are eQTLs for genes within topologically associated domains in immune cells and/or eQTLs in the main target tissue, salivary glands.
干燥综合征是一种复杂的自身免疫性疾病，有十二个已确定的易感基因位点。这项全基因组关联研究（GWAS）确定了欧洲血统干燥综合征患者的十个新的全基因组显著（GWS）区域：CD247、NAB1、PTTG1-MIR146A、PRDM1-ATG5、TNFAIP3、XKR6、MAPT-CRHR1、RPTOR-CHMP6-BAIAP6、TYK2、SYNGR1。多基因风险评分具有可预测性（AUROC=0.71）和 12.08 的相对风险。对生物信息学数据库的查询细化了关联，定义了 95%置信区间内 GWS SNP 的局部调控网络，并将涉及的基因列表扩展到>40 个。许多 GWS SNP 是免疫细胞中拓扑相关结构域内基因的 eQTL 和/或主要靶组织唾液腺中的 eQTL。
