Identification of candidate loci at 6p21 and 21q22 in a genome‐wide association study of cardiac manifestations of neonatal lupus
AssociationN=3,467Robert M. Clancy et al.(2010)· Arthritis & Rheumatism

Genome-wide association study of 116 children with cardiac neonatal lupus (116 cases, 3,351 controls) identified 17 significant SNPs in the HLA region at 6p21, with the strongest association at rs3099844 (OR 3.34, P=4.52×10⁻¹⁰) near the MICB gene. Non-HLA associations were found at rs743446 (21q22, OR 2.40, P=5.45×10⁻⁶), rs2403106 (12q21, OR 2.48, P=2.62×10⁻⁶), rs1391511 (10p15, OR 1.84, P=6.6×10⁻⁶), and rs1890645 (1q31, OR 2.98, P=3.52×10⁻⁶). Results suggest genetic polymorphisms in inflammatory and apoptotic pathways contribute to cardiac injury in fetuses exposed to maternal anti-Ro/SSA antibodies.

About CLSTN2

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of synapse assembly and positive regulation of synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be active in cell surface; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
