Abstract excerpt
Enhancers control the location and timing of gene expression and contain the majority of variants associated with disease1-3. The ZRS is arguably the most well-studied vertebrate enhancer and mediates the expression of Shh in the developing limb4. Thirty-one human single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) within the ZRS are associated with polydactyly4-6. However, how this enhancer encodes tissue-specific activity, and...
