Key Points

The study examines the genetic and regulatory frameworks of 15 autoimmune diseases through an in-silico approach.
Integrated genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and multi-omics data for analysis.
Identified genetic links and regulatory elements related to autoimmunity.
Utilized computational tools to explore genetic architecture.
Revealed distinct genetic and cellular characteristics among the 15 autoimmune diseases.
Proposed potential therapeutic targets for intervention through drug repurposing.

Implication

Identifies genetic connections among autoimmune diseases, suggesting targets for drug repurposing.

Abstract
