Functional genetic variants can mediate their regulatory effects through alteration of transcription factor binding

Functional variants have been proposed to alter transcription factor binding. Here, the authors provide direct evidence that functional variants within the TBC1D4 gene, encoding an NFκB binding site, can alter transcription factor binding, and use CRISPR-Cas9 to reveal localization of the transcript...
