Abstract excerpt
Bicuspid aortic valve, a prevalent congenital malformation, predisposes individuals to severe complications. Although the condition exhibits substantial heritability, known protein-coding and common regulatory mutations explain a minority of cases. To assess the contribution of rare regulatory variants, here we integrate high-resolution three-dimensional genome organization profiling with matched whole-genome...
