Non-coding variants disrupting a tissue-specific regulatory element in HK1 cause congenital hyperinsulinism
1 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Gene expression is tightly regulated, with many genes exhibiting cell-specific silencing when their protein product would disrupt normal cellular function1. This silencing is largely controlled by non-coding elements, and their disruption might cause human disease2. We performed gene-agnostic screening of the non-coding regions to discover new molecular causes of congenital hyperinsulinism. This identified 14...
