Functional analysis of the disruption events. (a) Enrichment analysis of ‘Disruptors’ in genes that are commonly regulated (suggested by the mutual regulatory motif matches—TRANSFAC database) by transcription factors indicated on y axis. The overlap between the query gene set and the corresponding Pathway members or TF-target genes are displayed on the x axis. The color of each bar illustrates the corrected p value of the corresponding enrichment test. (b) Average positional enrichments of susceptibility and severity genes6 against different types of DCEs. Significance levels of one hundred permutations (*:0.05; **:0.01). (c) Protein interaction networks for susceptibility signature genes that are found to be differentially expressed and overlapping split DCE boundaries, as obtained from STRING-DB35. Genes are grouped on the basis of a modularity analysis. Modules are shown with coloured polygons around genes (red: interferon signature genes, cyan: DAP12 signaling, lime: neutrophil module, green: B-cell module). (d) Pathway enrichment analysis of genes which correspond to enhancer-TSS links (CD4+ cells—Enhancer Atlas)37, that are nested in healthy group DCEs but disrupted in SLE. The top 20 most significant KEGG or/and REACTOME pathways are presented.
