Abstract excerpt
The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene strongly increases Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, though its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. AD-associated genetic signals also extend to neighboring genes TOMM40 and APOC1, suggesting a complex cis-regulatory landscape. To investigate chromatin architecture and its impact on gene regulation across this region, we performed chromosome conformation capture in...
