Asthma-associated genetic variants induce IL33 differential expression through a novel regulatory region.
2020-10-09
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>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. We show...
