TLDR
It is revealed that several diseases share multiple susceptibility loci, but there are many nuances that help explain why early evidence of extensive 'sharing' is not always reflected in epidemiological overlap.Abstract:
Shared aetiopathogenic factors among immune-mediated diseases have long been suggested by their co-familiality and co-occurrence, and molecular support has been provided by analysis of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes and genome-wide association studies. The interrelationships can now be better appreciated following the genotyping of large immune disease sample sets on a shared SNP array: the 'Immunochip'. Here, we systematically analyse loci shared among major immune-mediated diseases. This reveals that several diseases share multiple susceptibility loci, but there are many nuances. The most associated variant at a given locus frequently differs and, even when shared, the same allele often has opposite associations. Interestingly, risk alleles conferring the largest effect sizes are usually disease-specific. These factors help to explain why early evidence of extensive 'sharing' is not always reflected in epidemiological overlap.read more

Comorbid Autoimmune Diseases in Patients With Myasthenia Gravis: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study of a Chinese Cohort
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the burden and potential clinical associations of coexisting autoimmune diseases in Chinese patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and found that patients with MG with ADs were predominantly female, younger at the onset of MG symptoms, and had a lower frequency of thymoma.

Revisiting an Expression Dataset of Discordant Inflammatory Bowel Disease Twin Pairs Using a Mutation Burden Test Reveals CYP2C18 as a Novel Marker.
TL;DR: In this paper, the expression features of discordant inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) twin pairs were investigated to identify novel molecular features and markers and they found that dysregulated immune systems and NOD-related pathways were enriched in the expression network of the discordant IBD twin pairs.

Systematic Analysis of GWAS Data Reveals Genomic Hotspots for Shared Mechanisms between Neurodegenerative Diseases
TL;DR: Genetic overlap between these diseases suggests that genomic locus should be considered to investigate the effects of GWAS variants rather than individual genetic variants, particularly to investigate shared pathology.
Dissertation
Widespread Non-Additive and Interaction Effects Within Human Leukocyte Antigen Loci Modulate the Risk of Autoimmune Diseases
TL;DR: The immune checkpoints of the immune system are regulated by a number of mechanisms, including “clinically checkpoints” and “cell reprograming”, which regulate the number of checkpoints in the immune response.

TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the NOD2 gene product confers susceptibility to Crohn's disease by altering the recognition of these components and/or by over-activating NF-kB in monocytes, thus documenting a molecular model for the pathogenic mechanism of Crohn’s disease that can now be further investigated.
