PLD4 as a novel susceptibility gene for systemic sclerosis in a Japanese population
AssociationN=1,141Chikashi Terao et al.(2013)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatism

This case-control study identified PLD4 as a novel susceptibility gene for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in a Japanese population, with rs2841277 showing significant association (P=0.00017, OR=1.25). The study also confirmed associations between SSc and rs6932056 in TNFAIP3 (P=0.0000095, OR=1.50) and rs2280381 in IRF8 (P=0.0030, OR=1.26). rs2841280 in PLD4 exon 2 was found in strong linkage disequilibrium with rs2841277 and introduces an amino acid change (E27Q).

About PLD4

Predicted to enable single-stranded DNA 5'-3' DNA exonuclease activity. Predicted to be involved in hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; phagocytosis; and regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. Predicted to act upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell. Predicted to be located in early endosome and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; phagocytic vesicle; and trans-Golgi network membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
