Rs1734787

From SNPedia

rs1734787 is one of several SNPs in the methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) that have been associated with risk for systemic lupus erythromatosis (SLE). The MECP2 gene is located on the X chromosome, which may be instructive since lupus is a predominantly female disease.

An initial survey of 600 Korean patients, followed by 1,000 Caucasian patients, ultimately led to a meta-analysis indicating an odds ratio for the rs1734787(C) risk allele of 1.42 (CI: 1.26–1.60, p = 1.6×10e-08).[PMID 18320046]
