This study identifies independent genetic contributions of HLA missense variants and C4 copy number variations to SLE risk using a new East Asian MHC imputation panel.

This study evaluates genetic risk scores for predicting SLE susceptibility and severity using GWAS data from European and Chinese populations, finding moderate predictive performance and associations with renal disease and age of onset.

This study identifies HLA-DQA1 as the major independent genetic risk for ACPA-positive RA in Han population through MHC region sequencing and HLA-typing.
