Certain genetic variants that cause modified protein binding in immune cells, are also seen in those at high risk of some autoimmune diseases, new research has found.
Scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute in Spain, and the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) found that certain genetic variants, which alter the binding ability of a protein called PU.1 in neutrophils, are also found to be associated with auto immune disease susceptibility.
