Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the human interferon lambda 1 (IFN-L1, IFN-λ1) gene promoter, rs7247086 (C/T) has been reported to be associated with severe dengue and possibly with psoriasis and COVID-19. However, its functional nature is unknown. The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of rs7247086 on transcription, by utilizing promoter and enhancer-reporter assays. We see that the...
