Figure 4

Global pairwise gene interaction network of the exome identified genes. Gene co-expression and direct protein-protein interactions are shown as a combined network. Family 8-specific genes are shown in red ovals, family 6 - in blue ovals. The names of the genes with significant enrichment or aggregated association of rare variants in SLE cases are shown in red italic. Genes associated after removing linked variants (r2 < 0.1), adjustment by 10 principal components and genomic control, and multiple test correction are highlighted with a star. Note the high connectivity within the network of the SLE-associated genes. Blue-filled ovals correspond to the genes with known immunity-related Mendelian disorders (OMIM data), green-filled - to the genes with published genome-wide significant associations with autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders, yellow-filled - with other genome-wide significant immunity-related traits (Table S4).
