Abstract excerpt
Short structural variants-variants other than single nucleotide polymorphisms-are hypothesized to contribute to many complex diseases, possibly by modulating gene expression. However, the molecular mechanisms by which noncoding short structural variants exert their effects on gene regulation have not been discovered. Here, we study simple sequence repeats (SSRs), a common class of short structural variants....
