Fig. 6. Model for rs2280381 regulates IRF8 expression mediating disease risk.

Fig. 6

The rs2280381-containing region forms a gene-loop with the IRF8 promoter region. The rs2280381 T risk allele has lower PU.1-binding affinity than the non-risk C allele, which results in the reduced expression of AC092723.1, upregulation of methylation levels at IRF8 promoter, and the decreased expression of IRF8 contributing to SLE risk.
