Abstract excerpt
The majority of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) identified in Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) fall within non-protein coding DNA and have the potential to alter gene expression. Non-protein coding DNA can control gene expression by acting as transcription factor (TF) binding sites or by regulating the organization of DNA into chromatin. SNVs in non-coding DNA sequences can disrupt TF binding and...
