We selected and identified three SNPs of BANK1 associated with SLE (rs17266594, P = 1.949e-10; OR = 1.380; 95% CI: 1.250-1.525; rs10516487, P = 2.642e-13; OR = 1.317; 95% CI: 1.223-1.417; rs3733197, P = 3.452e-06; OR = 1.193; 95% CI: 1.107-1.286); one SNP of TNFAIP3 associated with SLE (rs2230926, P = 1.502e-12; OR = 1.826; 95% CI: 1.545-2.157).
In the paper by Dieguez-Gonzalez and colleagues in the present issue of Arthritis Research & Therapy, the results of a detailed genetic investigation of the recently identified rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus susceptibility region at 6q23 containing the TNFAIP3 gene are reported.
IRF5, PTPN22, CD28, IL2RA, KIF5A, BLK and TNFAIP3 genes polymorphisms and lupus susceptibility in a cohort from the Egypt Delta; relation to other ethnic groups.
The replication analysis indicates that TNFAIP3, ETS1 and TNIP1 are probably common susceptibility genes for SLE in Chinese populations, and they may contribute to the pathogenesis of multiple SLE subphenotypes.
TNFAIP3 interacting protein 1, TNIP1 (ABIN-1) is involved in inhibition of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation by interacting with TNF alpha-induced protein 3, A20 (TNFAIP3), an established susceptibility gene to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Genetic variants in the genes Tnip1 and TNFAIP3 are both strongly associated with susceptibility to autoimmune chronic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis vulgaris and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in humans.
TNFAIP3 is a ubiquitin-editing enzyme that negatively regulates multiple NF-κB signaling pathways and dysregulation of TNFAIP3 is related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
We show that three independent SNPs in the TNFAIP3 region (rs13192841, rs2230926 and rs6922466) are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) among individuals of European ancestry.

Interestingly, some of these studies emphasized significant associations between TNFAIP3/A20 SNPs imparting decreased expression or loss of NF-kappaB inhibitory function, and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and coronary artery disease (CAD).
