Figure 1 Structural Variation and Pathological Rewiring of Genetic Regulatory Interactions A genetic locus that includes genes and enhancers relevant to mammalian limb formation (top) has undergone deletions and inversions in humans, causing altered promoter-enhancer interactions (middle) and three distinct malformation syndromes (bottom). Recapitulating these structural variations in mice indicates that disruption of the TAD boundary domain is a key component of rewired circuitry and a pathological phenotype.
