Abstract excerpt
Kallikreins (KLKs) are a group of 15 serine proteases encoded by the KLK locus on chromosome 19. Certain single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within the KLK locus have been linked to human disease. Next-generation sequencing of large human cohorts enables reexamination of genomic variation at the KLK locus. We aimed to identify all KLK-related SNVs and examine their impact on gene regulation and function. To this...
