Enhancer histone-QTLs are enriched on autoimmune risk haplotypes and influence gene expression within chromatin networks

Disease risk variants can exert their influence on phenotypes by altering epigenome function. Here, Pelikan et al. show that variants inducing allelic imbalance in histone marks in lymphoblastoid cell lines from lupus patients are enriched in autoimmune disease haplotypes and influence gene expressi...
