Asthma-associated variants induce <i>IL33</i> differential expression through a novel regulatory region
2020-09-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated the IL33 locus in asthma, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify a 5 kb region within the GWAS-defined segment that acts as a strong regulatory element in vivo and in vitro. Chromatin conformation capture showed that this 5 kb region loops to the IL33 promoter, potentially regulating its expression. Supporting th...
