Tóm tắt

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) identify many risks for Crohn's disease (CD), including a site near the metabolism gene laccase domain containing 1 (LACC1). We previously found this site near LACC1 was associated with decreased LACC1 expression in T lymphocytes, yet the mechanism affecting gene expression and its links to T cell function and inflammatory disease were unknown. Here we identify variants in the promoter region that influence transcription of LACC1. Direct association of disease-risk variants with lower LACC1 pre-mRNA in human CD4
