This study identifies two new genetic loci associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Genetic variants near the BLK and C8orf13 genes on chromosome 8 and in the ITGAM-ITGAX region on chromosome 16 were associated with increased risk of SLE. Variants near BLK were also associated with changes in mRNA expression levels in B cell lines. The study confirms the role of genetics in SLE susceptibility and pathogenesis.

JURNAL SLE
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with strong
genetic and environmental components. Autoantibodies play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE, and the diverse clinical manifestations of the disease are caused by the deposition of antibody-containing immune complexes in blood vessels, leading to inflammation in the kidney, brain, and skin. Direct pathogenic effects of the autoantibodies contribute to hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. During the past 20 years, many linkage and candidate-gene studies have been performed to identify genetic factors contributing to a susceptibility to SLE. For example, haplotypes carrying the HLA class II alleles DRB1*0301 and DRB1*1501 are clearly associated with SLE and the presence of antibodies to nuclear autoantigens. More recently, variants of the genes encoding interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) have been discovered to be risk factors for SLE. The identification of IRF5 and STAT4 as SLE risk genes supports the hypothesis that the type I interferon pathway is central to disease pathogenesis. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a clinically heterogeneous disease in which the risk of disease is influenced by complex genetic and environmental contributions. Alleles of HLA-DRB1, IRF5, and STAT4 are established susceptibility genes; there is strong evidence for the existence of additional risk loci. We genotyped more than 500,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA samples from 1311 case subjects with SLE and 1783 control subjects; all subjects were North Americans of European descent. Genotypes from 1557 additional control subjects were obtained from public data repositories. We measured the association between the SNPs and SLE after applying strict quality-control filters to reduce technical artifacts and to correct for the presence of population stratification. Replication of the top loci was performed in 793 case subjects and 857 control subjects from Sweden. Genetic variation in the region upstream from the transcription initiation site of the gene encoding B lymphoid tyrosine kinase (BLK) and C8orf13 (chromosome 8p23.1) was associated with disease risk in both the U.S. and Swedish casecontrol series (rs13277113; odds ratio, 1.39; P=11010) and also with altered levels of messenger RNA in B-cell lines. In addition, variants on chromosome 16p11.22, near the genes encoding integrin alpha M (ITGAM, or CD11b) and integrin alpha X (ITGAX), were associated with SLE in the combined sample (rs11574637; odds ratio, 1.33; P=31011). We identified and then confirmed through replication two new genetic loci for SLE: a promoter-region allele associated with reduced expression of BLK and increased expression of C8orf13 and variants in the ITGAMITGAX region.
Lupus eritematosus sistemik (SLE) adalah penyakit autoimun kronis dengan
komponen genetik dan lingkungan yang kuat. Autoantibodi memainkan peran penting dalam patogenesis SLE, dan manifestasi klinis beragam penyakit yang disebabkan oleh pengendapan antibodi yang mengandung kompleks imun dalam pembuluh darah, menyebabkan peradangan pada ginjal, otak, dan kulit. Efek patogen langsung dari autoantibodi berkontribusi terhadap anemia hemolitik dan trombositopenia. Selama 20 tahun terakhir, banyak keterkaitan dan calon-gen penelitian telah dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor genetik berkontribusi pada kerentanan terhadap SLE. Misalnya, haplotipe membawa HLA kelas II alel DRB1 * 0301 dan DRB1 * 1.501 jelas terkait dengan SLE dan adanya antibodi terhadap autoantigens nuklir. Baru-baru ini, varian dari gen penyandi faktor interferon peraturan 5 (IRF5) dan transduser sinyal dan aktivator transkripsi 4 (STAT4) telah ditemukan menjadi faktor risiko untuk SLE. Identifikasi IRF5 dan STAT4 sebagai gen resiko SLE mendukung hipotesis bahwa tipe I interferon jalur merupakan pusat patogenesis penyakit.Lupus eritematosus sistemik (SLE) adalah penyakit klinis heterogen di mana risiko penyakit dipengaruhi oleh kontribusi genetik dan lingkungan yang kompleks. Alel, HLA-DRB1 IRF5, dan STAT4 ditetapkan gen kerentanan, ada bukti kuat bagi keberadaan lokus risiko tambahan. Kami genotyped lebih dari 500.000 polimorfisme nukleotida tunggal (SNP) dalam sampel DNA dari 1.311 subyek kasus dengan SLE dan 1.783 peserta kontrol, semua mata pelajaran adalah Amerika Utara keturunan Eropa. Genotipe dari 1.557 subyek kontrol tambahan yang diperoleh dari repositori data publik. Kami mengukur hubungan antara SNP dan SLE setelah menerapkan ketat kontrol kualitas filter untuk mengurangi artefak teknis dan untuk mengoreksi adanya stratifikasi populasi. Replikasi dari lokus atas dilakukan pada 793 subyek kasus dan 857 subyek kontrol dari Swedia. Variasi genetik di wilayah hulu dari situs inisiasi transkripsi gen yang mengkode tirosin kinase B limfoid (BLK) dan C8orf13 (kromosom 8p23.1) dikaitkan dengan risiko penyakit di Amerika Serikat dan Swedia kasus-kontrol seri (rs13277113; rasio odds , 1,39; P = 1 10-10) dan juga dengan perubahan tingkat RNA di B-sel garis. Selain itu, varian pada kromosom 16p11.22, dekat gen penyandi integrin alpha M (ITGAM, atau CD11b) dan integrin alpha X (ITGAX), dikaitkan dengan SLE dalam sampel gabungan (rs11574637, rasio odds, 1,33, P = 3 10-11). Kami diidentifikasi dan kemudian dikonfirmasi melalui replikasi dua lokus genetik baru untuk SLE: alel promotor-wilayah yang terkait dengan ekspresi penurunan BLK dan peningkatan ekspresi C8orf13 dan varian di wilayah ITGAM-ITGAX
