A pan-genome approach to decipher variants in the highly complex tandem repeat of <i>LPA</i>
2022-06-09
Abstract excerpt
Lp(a) is an important factor in Coronary Heart disease risk, and its expression is correlated with the length of the LPA gene. The KIV-2 region of LPA consists of variable tandem repeats whose number is highly variable across individuals. Little is known about the inner diversity of the KIV-2 repeats themselves. Here we utilize a pan-genome graph approach across 47 haplotype resolved assemblies to identify unexp...
