Systematic Localization of Common Disease-Associated Variation in Regulatory DNA

Open access

Abstract

Predictions of Genetic Disease: Many genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci and variants associated with disease, but the ability to predict disease on the basis of these genetic variants remains small. Maurano et al. (p. 1190 ; see the Perspective by Schadt and Chang ; see the cover) characterize the location of GWAS variants in the genome with respect to their proximity to regulatory DNA [marked by deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) hypersensitive sites] by tissue type, disease, and enrichments in physiologically relevant transcription factor binding sites and networks. They found many noncoding disease associations in regulatory DNA, indicating tissue and developmental-specific regulatory roles for many common genetic variants and thus enabling links to be made between gene regulation and adult-onset disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
