The strong association
of rs117026326 with
SLE and the functional implications
of nearby NCF1 took the team to their next hypothesis: that the rs117026326 SNP might tag causal variants
of NCF1 that were not present in the 1000 Genomes Project database.
Furthermore, NCF2, which encodes another subunit
of NOX2, is associated with
SLE risk in European Americans.
This was important because NCF1, which encodes a subunit

SLE due to its role in activating the phagocytic complex NOX2.

of GTF2I, showed a stronger association with
SLE than either the original or the other locus from the 1000 Genomes Project.
The team also found that having only one copy
of NCF1 was associated with a higher
SLE risk, but having three or more NCF1 copies was associated with reduced
SLE risk.
