Deletion mapping of regulatory elements for GATA3 in T cells reveals a distal enhancer involved in allergic diseases

To map regulatory elements for GATA3, we deleted genome sequences in human T cells. We discovered a regulatory sequence 1 Mb downstream of GATA3 that contains variants associated with allergic disease, demonstrating how deletions can identify regulatory sequences and help interpret hits from genome-wide association studies.
