Thioflavin T Monitoring of Guanine Quadruplex Formation in the rs689-Dependent INS Intron 1
The human proinsulin gene (INS) contains a thymine-to-adenine variant (rs689) located in the 3′ splice site (3′ ss) recognition motif of the first intron. The adenine at rs689 is strongly associated with type 1 diabetes. By weakening the polypyrimidine tract, the adenine allele reduces the efficienc...
