Auricular malformations are driven by copy number variations in a hierarchical enhancer cluster and a dominant enhancer recapitulates human pathogenesis

Auricular malformations are driven by copy number variations in a hierarchical enhancer cluster and a dominant enhancer recapitulates human pathogenesis

Abstract Enhancers, through the combinatorial action of transcription factors (TFs), dictate both the spatial specificity and the levels of gene expression, and their aberrations can result in diseases. While a HMX1 downstream enhancer is associated with ear malformations, the mechanisms underlying...
