Of note, the human homologs of four of the CD11b+ DC Runx3 targets, CD300LF, IFIH1, IRF4 and SLC22A5 (mouse Slc22a21) harbored SNPs associated with IBD, CD, UC and/or celiac disease (S1 Table sheet 5) and the two former genes are common Runx3 targets in RM and CD11b+ DC. Here, RUNX3 is linked to inflammatory bowel disease.
