An AluYb8 retrotransposon characterises a risk haplotype of TMEM106B associated in neurodegeneration
2023-07-16
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies identified a role for TMEM106B in various neurodegenerative diseases. Based on long-read whole-genome sequencing data of 256 individuals, we identified an AluYb8 retrotransposon in the 3’ UTR of the risk haplotype of TMEM106B . When transcriptionally active, Alu-elements can propogate throughout the genome, and mediate (post-)transcriptional dysregulation of nearby genes. We found t...
