In the study by Remmers et al.[24] the minor allele at STAT4 marker rs7574865 was significantly associated with both rheumatoid arthritis (P = 4.64×10−8, OR 1.27 [95% CI 1.16–1.36]) and SLE (P = 1.87×10−9, OR 1.55 [95% CI 1.34–1.79] in a meta-analysis. The gene discussed is STAT4; the disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
