Project description:We investigated whether variants fine-mapped for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Type 1 Diabetes overlap with open chromatin regions specifically after stimulation. We show that rs117701653, a potentially causal variant for RA near CD28, overlaps open chromatin regions only after stimulation. We futhermore observe a small increase in enhancer activity for this variant under stimulatory conditions using a luciferase assay. Reads were anonimized prior to upload.
