Genetic variants in ETS1, including rs1128334, rs4937333, and rs6590330, are associated with SLE and other autoimmune diseases in the Asian population (Han et al., 2009; Yang et al., 2010), but these associations are less well replicated in the Asian population than in European populations (Wang et al., 2013; Morris et al., 2016). The gene discussed is ETS1; the disease is autoimmune disease.
