Chromatin conformation capture in the clinic: 4C-seq/HiC distinguishes pathogenic from neutral duplications at the GPR101 locus
13 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: X-linked acrogigantism (X-LAG; MIM: 300942) is a severe form of pituitary gigantism caused by chromosome Xq26.3 duplications involving GPR101. X-LAG-associated duplications disrupt the integrity of the topologically associating domain (TAD) containing GPR101 and lead to the formation of a neo-TAD that drives pituitary GPR101 misexpression and gigantism. As X-LAG is fully penetrant and heritable,...
