The darkred module is also enriched for genes associated with many infectious and autoimmune diseases, specifically, “Influenza A” (p=1.43E-06), “Tuberculosis” (p=2.98E-06), “Autoimmune thyroid disease” (p=1.03E-05); “Intestinal immune network for IgA production” (p=1.17E-05); “Asthma” (p=3.20E-05); “Type I diabetes mellitus” (p=4.07E-05); and “Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)” (p=8.09E-05), as the module contains many HLA genes. This evidence concerns the gene CD79A and autoimmune thyroid disease.
