Deskripsi
Non-coding variants can regulate transcription factor binding and gene expression at variable chromatin modules. Here, the authors show that a germline variant induces transcription factor nucleation through chromatin compaction leading to AXIN2 up-regulation and is associated to better prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
