Abstract excerpt
It has been challenging to determine the disease-causing variant(s) for most major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-associated diseases. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that regulatory variation is pervasive and a fundamentally important mechanism governing phenotypic diversity and disease susceptibility. We gathered DNase I data from 136 human cells to characterize the regulatory landscape of the MHC...
