Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reproducibly associated variants within intergenic regions of 1p36.12 locus with osteoporosis, but the functional roles underlying these noncoding variants are unknown. Through an integrative functional genomic and epigenomic analyses, we prioritized rs6426749 as a potential causal SNP for osteoporosis at 1p36.12. Dual-luciferase assay and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments...
