KEGG pathway analysis demonstrated that these genes were enriched in pathways involved in various physiological and pathological processes, including rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroid disease, hematopoietic cell lineage, type I diabetes mellitus, antigen processing and presentation, graft-versus-host disease, intestinal immune network for IgA production, asthma, viral myocarditis, hematopoietic cell lineage, allograft rejection. This evidence concerns the gene CD79A and autoimmune thyroid disease.
