MS yielded the highest number of commonly implicated eGenes across all cell types (278), followed by ALG (260), SLE (229) and T1D (216), and naïve CD4 + T cells yielded the highest number of commonly implicated eGenes across all autoimmune traits (347), followed by NK cells (222) in concordant with the abundance of their V2G genes, while dendritic cells yielded least number of common eGenes despite having the highest V2G genes. This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
