▶Novel Rheumatoid Arthritis Susceptibility Locus at 22q12 Identified in an Extended UK Genome‐Wide Association StudyAssociationN=8,305Gisela Orozco et al.(2014)· Arthritis & Rheumatology
This extended UK genome-wide association study identified a novel rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility locus at 22q12 (rs1043099, P = 6.9 × 10⁻⁹, OR = 0.84) in 3,034 cases and 5,271 controls, and confirmed 16 previously known RA loci, strengthening evidence for genetic contributors to RA in the UK population.
About BTNL2
This gene encodes a major histocompatibility complex, class II associated, type I transmembrane protein which belongs to the butyrophilin-like B7 family of immunoregulators. It is thought to be involved in immune surveillance, serving as a negative T-cell regulator by decreasing T-cell proliferation and cytokine release. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal signal peptide, two pairs of immunoglobulin-like domains, separated by a heptad peptide sequence, and a C-terminal transmembrane domain. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, myositis, type 1 diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, acute coronary syndrome, and prostate cancer.
