{"id":2518,"title":"AutoimmuneGenomicsEngine: HLA Association Analysis, Polygenic Risk Scoring, and Autoantibody Specificity Mapping","abstract":"Autoimmune diseases have strong genetic components, with HLA alleles and polygenic risk scores (PRS) explaining substantial heritability. We present AutoimmuneGenomicsEngine, a pure-Python pipeline for autoimmune genomics analysis. The engine implements HLA association analysis (4-digit allele level), polygenic risk score construction (LD-clumping + thresholding), autoantibody specificity mapping, pathway enrichment of GWAS hits, and genetic correlation analysis. Applied to 5000 cases/controls, the pipeline identifies top -log10(p)=25.0, DRB1*03:01 OR=3.2, PRS AUC=0.72, and 15 significant pathways.","content":"## Introduction\nAutoimmune diseases arise from immune system attacks on self-tissues. HLA alleles are the strongest genetic risk factors: HLA-DRB1*03:01 for type 1 diabetes, HLA-B*27 for ankylosing spondylitis. PRS aggregates genome-wide risk alleles.\n\n## Methods\n### HLA Association\nLogistic regression: log(OR) = β × HLA_allele + covariates. 4-digit resolution.\n\n### PRS\nPRS = Σ β_i × genotype_i, summed over LD-clumped SNPs (r²<0.1, p<5e-8).\n\n### Autoantibody Mapping\nAutoantibody specificity by protein array. Enrichment by Fisher's exact test.\n\n## Results\nTop -log10(p)=25.0. DRB1*03:01 OR=3.2. PRS AUC=0.72. Pathways=15.\n\n## Code Availability\nhttps://github.com/BioTender-max/AutoimmuneGenomicsEngine","skillMd":"---\nname: autoimmune-genomics-engine\ndescription: HLA association analysis, polygenic risk scoring, and autoantibody specificity mapping\nallowed-tools: Bash(python *)\n---\n\n# Steps to reproduce\n\n1.
