Study of the copy number variations (CNVs) for DNASE1L3 and DNASE2 in Japanese and German populations found that only 2 diploid copy numbers for these DNASE CNVs was distributed in both populations; no copy loss or gain was evident for any of the autoimmune-related DNase genes. These human autoimmune-related DNase genes show low genetic diversity of CNVs resulting in alterations of the in vivo levels of DNase activity. | Low genetic heterogeneity of copy number variations (CNVs) in the genes encoding the human deoxyribonucleases 1-like 3 and II potentially relevant to autoimmunity.

study demonstrated the relationship of genotypes/haplotypes with the in vivo DNase II and promoter activities; significant correlations between genotype in each rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-related SNP and enzymatic activity levels were found; alleles associated with RA exhibited a reduction in serum DNase II activity. | Genetic and expression analysis of SNPs in the human deoxyribonuclease II: SNPs in the promoter region reduce its in vivo activity through decreased promoter activity.
