3D Genome Mapping in Rare Immune Cells Sheds Light on Crohn’s Risk

A Nature Genetics study highlighted by News Medical links the 3D organization of DNA in rare immune cells to genetic risk factors for Crohn’s disease. The work suggests disease-associated variants may act through long‑range regulatory interactions that alter immune function.
