Abstract excerpt
The HOXA gene locus coordinates body patterning, hematopoiesis, and differentiation. While studying blood phenotype-associated variation within the HOXA locus, we identified a genetic variant, rs17437411, associated with globally reduced blood counts, protection from blood cancers, and variation in anthropometric phenotypes. We found that this variant disrupts the activity of a previously unstudied antisense long...
