SUMMARY

Aims: Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system damages the body's tissues, affecting over 1% of the population. Genomic polymorphisms strongly influence autoimmune disease risk, with many identified through large-scale genomic analyses. Since these risk polymorphisms often cluster in gene expression regulatory regions of immune cells, evaluating their relationship with gene regulation in these cells is essential for understanding their functions. This research aims to elucidate risk polymorphism functions using both natural polymorphisms and artificial ones introduced through genome editing. We will analyze multi-omics data from various cells and employ comprehensive genomic analysis to precisely identify risk polymorphism locations and understand their functions.

Methods: bulk RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, single cell CITE-seq (RNA-seq)
