Regulatory mutations and human genetic disease.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in gene promoter/regulatory regions represent an important class of lesion causing human genetic disease. Such mutations are associated with either increases or decreases in transcriptional activity mediated by the altered binding behaviour of trans-acting protein factors to specific DNA sequences in the promoter region. Although most promoter mutations are individually very infrequent, some occur at...
