Abstract excerpt
1. The search for DNA sequence variants for complex human polygenic conditions has been a strong focus of recent genetic research. While gene loci have been identified, few variants in the coding sequences of these genes have been found, suggesting that non-coding sequence variation may underlie many complex conditions. 2. Non-coding DNA harbours regulatory elements capable of making changes to gene expression....
