Disease:Genetic variations in IRF5 are associated with susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease type 14 (IBD14) [MIM:612245]. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a form of remitting Crohn disease (CD) . CD may involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract , but most frequently the terminal ileum and colon. Bowel inflammation is transmural and discontinuous. CD is commonly classified as an autoimmune disease. ,Disease:Genetic variations in IRF5 are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [MIM:180300]. Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex , multifactorial disorder. It is one of the most common autoimmune diseases and it is characterized by inflammation of synovial tissue and joint destruction. ,Disease:Genetic variations in IRF5 are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus type 10 (SLEB10) [MIM:612251]. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic , inflammatory and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue. It affects principally the skin , joints , kidneys and serosal membranes. It is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. ,similarity:Belongs to the IRF family. ,similarity:Contains 1 tryptophan pentad repeat DNA-binding domain. ,
