Scientists discover New T cells and Genes related to Immune Disorders

A newly developed method called ReapTEC allowed the discovery of thousands of active bidirectional enhancers. Further analysis of GWAS data revealed that various immune-mediated diseases, like multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, are related to genetic variations within these enhancers.

Researchers led by Yasuhiro Murakawa at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) and Kyoto University in Japan and IFOM ETS in Italy have discovered several rare types of helper T cells that are associated with immune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and even asthma...
