Fig. 1 AIH, PBC, and PSC are complex disorders meaning they are likely associated with the effects of multiple genes in combination with environmental factors.

Fig. 2 Network map showing complexity of shared genetic effects. Some shared risk loci are involved in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune disorders. These loci are clustered in the centre of the figure. Other shared risk loci are associated with only two conditions. Numerous risk loci are associated with a single disorder. It is plausible that the central loci associated with numerous conditions are those involved in autoimmunity in general, whereas risk loci specific to a given disease determine the particular phenotype. AITD, autoimmune thyroid disease; AS, ankylosing spondylitis; CeD, coeliac disease; CD, Crohn’s disease; PSC, primary sclerosing cholangitis; MS, multiple sclerosis; PBC, primary biliary cirrhosis; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; SLE, Systemic lupus erythematosus; SS, systemic sclerosis; T1DM, type 1 diabetes mellitus; UC, ulcerative colitis.
