Fine mapping and bioinformatic analysis of the DDX6-CXCR5 genetic risk association in Sjogrens Disease (SjD) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) identified five common SNPs with functional evidence in immune cell types: rs4938573, rs57494551, rs4938572, rs4936443, rs7117261. Functional interrogation of nuclear protein binding affinity, enhancer/promoter regulatory activity, and chromatin-chromatin interactions in immune, salivary gland epithelial, and kidney epithelial cells revealed cell type-specific allelic effects for all five SNPs that expanded regulation beyond effects on DDX6 and CXCR5 expression. Mapping the local chromatin regulatory network revealed several additional genes of interest, including lnc-PHLDB1-1. Collectively, functional characterization implicated the risk alleles of these SNPs as modulators of promoter and/or enhancer activities that regulate cell type-specific expression of DDX6, CXCR5, and lnc-PHLDB1-1, among others. Further, these findings emphasize the importance of exploring the functional significance of SNPs in the context of complex chromatin architecture in disease-relevant cell types and tissues.
