<p id="P3">Sjögren’s syndrome is a common (~0.7% of European Americans

. Although patients are identified clinically by oral and ocular manifestations, the full disease spectrum may encompass a complex myriad of systemic features, making diagnosis a significant clinical challenge
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R4">4</xref>

. Current American-European Consensus Group classification criteria require either the presence of anti-Ro and/or -La autoantibodies or histologic evidence of inflammation within salivary glands plus other subjective and objective measures of keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia
<sup>

has been established

<title>Results</title>
<p id="P5">To maximize the power of our study, we formed the Sjögren’s Genetics Network (SGENE), a collaborative research effort comprising multiple international sites (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 1</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). Dataset 1 (DS1) included 395 cases and 1975 population controls of European descent after implementing quality control (QC; see Online Methods and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). Genotyping was performed using the Illumina Omni1-Quad array. Dataset 2 (DS2) consisted of 1243 cases and 4779 population controls genotyped on the Illumina ImmunoChip, and Dataset 3 (DS3) included 1158 cases and 3071 population controls genotyped on a supplemental custom array designed to include variants not present on the ImmunoChip (all of European descent and after QC;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 1b</xref>
). Dataset 4 (DS4) evaluated 1541 cases and 2634 population controls genotyped on the Illumina ImmunoChip focusing on variants exclusive to DS4 and not common between DS1 and DS2 (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 1b</xref>
). Imputation was performed in regions with

(
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2a</xref>
). A second set of variants not in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with rs115575857 was also identified peaking at rs116232857 (

<p id="P7">Further dissection through logistic regression analysis in DS2 adjusting for rs115575857 identified an ~5 Mb haplotype encompassing the extended HLA region (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 5</xref>
). In addition, a narrow region of residual association tagged by rs116232857 (
<italic>P

) was observed in the
<italic>HLA-DRA</italic>
through
<italic>HLA-DQA1</italic>
regions (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 5</xref>
). Logistic regression adjusting for rs115575857 and rs116232857 accounted for most of the association within the HLA region (the residual association in the region at rs115146037 went from 10
<sup>−80</sup>
to 10
<sup>−9</sup>
;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 5</xref>
), thus identifying the presence of at least two independent effects.</p>
<p id="P8">Classical HLA alleles were imputed into our dataset to better understand the relationship between the HLA region variants tested in this study to those reported previously. The top associated classical allele was HLA-DQB1*0201 (
<italic>P

=1.38×10
<sup>−95</sup>
) followed closely by HLA-DQA1*0501 (

<sup>−94</sup>
;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 6</xref>
). We used logistic regression adjusting for both the top associated classical HLA alleles and the variants identified through the meta-analysis of DS1 and DS2. As previously described
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R16">16</xref>
</sup>
, our data shows that HLA-DQB1*0201, HLA-DQA1*0501, and HLA-DRB1*0301 are in strong LD (
<italic>r</italic>
<sup>2</sup>
>0.97), and adjusted logistic regression using any of the three accounted for the observed association. Moreover, each of these classical alleles accounted for the association at rs115575857. Likewise, rs115575857 explained the association at each of the three classical alleles (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 6</xref>
). Adjusting for rs116232857 could account for the association at HLA-DQB1*0501, a previously reported protective allele in Sjögren’s syndrome
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R11">11</xref>
</sup>
. However, HLA-DQB1*0501 could not account for the association observed at rs116232857, suggesting that rs116232857 better tags the functional effect(s) than the classical allele.</p>

) by ENCODE ChIP-seq studies
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R17">17</xref>

. In total, 161 variants contributed to the enrichment in our dataset with all but one located in the HLA region. To further evaluate the influence of the extensive LD in the HLA, we tested for enrichment of Sjögren’s syndrome-associated variants in RFX5 ChIP-seq peaks using only the HLA region variants present in DS1 as the background and continued to observe significant enrichment (

<p id="P10">To evaluate the functional mechanism of this RFX5 enrichment within the HLA the variants near RFX5 ChIP-seq peaks were tested as expression quantitative trail loci (eQTL), resulting in several statistically significant results (

DAPPLE defines genomic regions in LD with variants achieving GWS and suggestive thresholds to determine any potential protein-protein interaction (PPI) that could elucidate the underlying biological perturbations in Sjögren’s syndrome.

Our results are consistent with a trans-racial meta-analysis of 23 case-control studies evaluating Class II loci in Sjögren’s syndrome, which also identified HLA-DQA1*0501, HLA-DQB1*0201, and HLA-DRB*0301 as disease risk factors

. Mutations in RFX5 can lead to the inability to transcribe Class II HLA molecules and bare lymphocyte syndrome
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R20">20</xref>

. In Sjögren’s syndrome, several risk alleles in or near the RFX5 ChIP-Seq peaks in the Class II region were eQTLs (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3a-e</xref>

and
<italic>HLA-G,</italic>
and previous studies have found that RFX5 regulates the expression of these loci
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R21">21</xref>
</sup>
. Extensive LD between variants in the HLA region may influence the enrichment analysis performed in GenomeRunner when using all variants as background; however, we continued to observe enrichment when focusing only on the HLA region. Although we cannot completely rule out the influence of LD on these results, the observation that several of these variants are eQTLs further indicates biological relevance.</p>

<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R22">22</xref>

. This suggests that risk attributed to the HLA region may involve altered expression of multiple genes residing in this region and important to the immune system through altered binding of RFX5 to DNA motifs and/or accessory molecules. However, it is likely that other mechanisms, such as amino-acid changes similar to those identified by Raychaudhuri et al. in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R23">23</xref>

, are involved in the genetic pathophysiology of this region.

The public annotation data sets incorporated in this software include gene ontology (GO) and medical subject headings (MeSH) in addition to others. GePS also provides a probability statistic using Fisher’s exact test to determine the likelihood of finding the number of co-represented genes with a particular annotation when considering the length of the input gene list. Input gene sets were generated using the gene locus nearest the association signals, which were required to demonstrate suggestive or genome-wide significance, and the pathway analysis was carried out using the gene symbols of the input set.</p>
