rs419788, a SNP in an intron of the SKIV2L gene in the MHC class III region, has been associated with lupus in a large study of UK patients. In dbSNP orientation, the risk allele is rs419788(A), and the risk is dose-dependent (i.e. rs419788(A;A) individuals are at higher risk than rs419788(A;G) individuals]. The reported odds ratio is 2.0 (CI: 1.6 - 2.6, permuted p < 0.0001). [PMID 17997607]
