Identification of a distal enhancer regulating hedgehog interacting protein gene in human lung epithelial cells
27 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: An intergenic region at chromosome 4q31 is one of the most significant regions associated with COPD susceptibility and lung function in GWAS. In this region, the implicated causal gene HHIP has a unique epithelial expression pattern in adult human lungs, in contrast to dominant expression in fibroblasts in murine lungs. However, the mechanism underlying the species-dependent cell type-specific...
