Regulation of disease-associated gene expression in the 3D genome

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 17, 771 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.138 Authors: Peter Hugo Lodewijk Krijger & Wouter de Laat Genetic variation associated with disease often appears in non-coding parts of the genome. Understanding the mechanisms by which this phenomenon leads to disease is necessary to translate results from genetic association studies to the clinic. Assigning function to this type of variation is notoriously difficult
