摘要
Most autoimmunity-associated SNPs in the genome map to noncoding regulatory regions in T cells, but the nature of underlying epigenetic mechanisms and any normal purpose in T cell differentiation remain unclear. In this issue of Immunity, Ohkura et al. establish that crucial SNPs linked to autoimmune disease are enriched in DNA regions of CpG demethylation that govern Treg cell development and function.
