SNPs Associated with Autoimmune Diseases Overlap with HIC1 Binding Sites and Alter the HIC1 DNA Binding Ability
(A) Enrichment of autoimmune-associated SNPs at HIC1 binding sites compared with a random set of background SNPs.
(B) SNPs overlapping the HIC1 motif (Experimental Procedures). rsID, overlapping SNP ID; proxyTo, lead SNP to which overlapping SNP is a proxy; Chr, chromosome; location, SNP location; major, major allele; minor, minor allele; disease, disease to which lead SNP is attributed; motif, motif sequence (SNPs in red); motifStart, location of motif start; motifStrand, strand info.
(C) Two DNA sequences with HIC1 binding site (HIC1 wild-type [WT]) and corresponding negative control DNA sequences in which the HIC1 motif has been mutated (HIC1 MT) were used as controls (Table S5). Data shown here are a representative of three biological replicates. Significance was determined with one-tailed paired t test. ∗p < 0.05.
