Immunochip analysis identifies multiple susceptibility loci for systemic sclerosis [PDF]

, 2014
In this study, 1,833 systemic sclerosis (SSc) cases and 3,466 controls were genotyped with the Immunochip array. Classical alleles, amino acid residues, and SNPs across the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region were imputed and tested.
