Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium poses a major challenge to the functional characterization of specific disease-associated susceptibility variants. Precision genome-editing technologies have provided new opportunities to address this challenge. As proof of concept, we employed TALEN (transcription activation-like effector nuclease)-mediated genome editing to specifically disrupt the TT>A enhancer region to mimic candidate...
