Disease‐Associated Single‐Nucleotide Polymorphisms From Noncoding Regions in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Are Located Within or Adjacent to Functional Genomic Elements of Human Neutrophils and CD4+ T Cells
FunctionalKaiyu Jiang et al.(2015)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatology

This functional study investigates disease-associated SNPs from non-coding genomic regions in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) by mapping enhancer-associated histone marks (H3K4me1 and H3K27ac) in human neutrophils and CD4+ T cells. The authors identified H3K4me1 and/or H3K27ac marks in 15 of 22 JIA risk regions in neutrophils and 18 of 22 regions in CD4+ T cells, and confirmed non-coding RNA transcripts at rs4705862 and rs6894249 loci in neutrophils, demonstrating that JIA-associated genetic risk resides largely within functional, non-coding regulatory elements.
