3D Genome Mapping of Rare Immune Cells Reveals New Crohn’s Disease Genes

3D Genome Mapping of Rare Immune Cells Reveals New Crohn's Disease Genes

Published on August 4, 2026, in Nature Genetics, a new global study maps three-dimensional DNA folding in rare human type 3 innate lymphoid cells. The research connects distant regulatory regions to more than 100 candidate genes linked to Crohn’s disease risk, uncovering an unexpected biological link to the neurological gene CLN3. Our genetic material is … Read more
