Although genome-wide association studies have identified genetic variation contributing to disease risk, assigning causal genes is challenging. Here, the authors generate ATAC-seq, Hi-C, Capture Hi-C and RNA-seq data in stimulated CD4+ T cells to identify functional enhancers and demonstrate interactions of expression quantitative trait loci with target genes in rheumatoid arthritis.
