Cis-regulation of IRF5expression is unable to fully account for systemic lupus erythematosus association: analysis of multiple experiments with lymphoblastoid cell lines

Table 1 Expression profiling studies in lymphoblastoid cell lines whose IRF5 data have been analysed^a

Study	Number of LCLs	Microarray system used	Number of *IRF5*probes used	LCL collection group
Kwan et al. [29]	57	GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix, Inc.)	17	CEU
Stranger et al. [28]	60	Illumina WG-6v1 BeadChip Array (Illumina, Inc.)	2	CEU
