About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0407
Species: human
Position : chr8:11792732-11794732
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Squalene synthase deficiency
Pubmed ID:  29909962
Enhancer experiment: PCR,WES,Western blot,
Enhancer experiment description: Whole-exome sequencing was used to identify recessive disease-causing variants in FDFT1. Functional characterization of one variant demonstrated a partial splicing defect and altered promoter and/or enhancer activity, reflecting essential mechanisms for regulating cholesterol biosynthesis/uptake in steady state.

About Target gene
