Non-MHC Genes Linked to Autoimmune Disease
ABSTRACT
The genetic traits that result in autoimmune diseases represent complicating factors in explicating the molecular and cellular elements of autoimmune responses and how these responses can be overcome or manipulated. This article focuses on the major non-major histocompatibility complex genes that have been found to be linked to autoimmune diseases. A given gene may associate with a number of autoimmune diseases and, conversely, a given disease may link to a number of common autoimmune disease (AD) genes. Collaboration and interaction among genes and the number of diseases that develop and the extensive risk factors shared among ADs further complicate the outcome. This article describes the various relationships between gene regions associated with multiple ADs and the complexity of those relationships.
