Host: John Trowsdale (jt233@cam.ac.uk)

The human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) on chromosome 6p21 is a remarkable region of the genome, showing extraordinary genetic diversity and genetic associations with disease.

In my talk I will describe how functional genomic approaches may be used to resolve regulatory variants and provide new insights into the relationship between genetic variation and disease susceptibility. I will discuss allele-specific analysis of specific loci and global approaches using a custom MHC array to interrogate extended MHC haplotypes implicated in autoimmune disease.

I will also present data based on expression quantitative trait mapping in primary peripheral blood leukocytes which has defined trans associations involving the MHC , together with resolution of context specific expression associated variants for specific MHC genes.
