Adventitious changes in long-range gene expression caused by polymorphic structural variation and promoter competition.

It is well established that all of the cis-acting sequences required for fully regulated human alpha-globin expression are contained within a region of approximately 120 kb of conserved synteny. Here, we show that activation of this cluster in erythroid cells dramatically affects expression of appar...
