Article Synopsis
- Systemic sclerosis (SSc) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) share genetic risk factors, prompting researchers to analyze data from two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to uncover these connections.
- The study involved a large sample size of 21,109 participants to validate 19 selected SNPs, leading to the identification of KIAA0319L as a novel genetic susceptibility locus for both diseases.
- Additionally, the findings confirmed that the previously known SLE-related loci PXK and JAZF1 are also relevant to SSc, enhancing our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of autoimmune diseases.
