MPRA in primary human macrophages
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We investigated an intergenic haplotype on chr21q22, linked to five different inflammatory diseases. We used a functional approach (massively-parallel reporter assay; MPRA) to first identify active enhancers at the locus in primary human macrophages, and then determine if candidate variants within these regulatory regions might alter enhancer activity. In doing so, we discovered a mechanism that orchestrates macrophage responses during chronic inflammation and delineated how the risk haplotype increases expression of the causal gene, ETS2.
