B lymphocytes in treatment-naive paediatric patients with lupus are epigenetically distinct from healthy children
Background SLE is likely triggered by gene–environment interactions. We have shown that most SLE-associated haplotypes encompass genomic regions enriched for epigenetic marks associated with enhancer function in lymphocytes, suggesting genetic risk is exerted through altered gene regulation. Data re...
