Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies identified various loci associated with periodontal diseases, but assigning causal alleles remains difficult. Likewise, the generation of biological meaning underlying a statistical association has been challenging. Here, we characterized the genetic association at the gene ST8SIA1 that increases the risk for severe periodontitis in smokers. We used CRISPR/dCas9 activation and...
