Selected heterozygosity at cis-regulatory sequences increases the expression homogeneity of a cell population in humans

BACKGROUND: Examples of heterozygote advantage in humans are scarce and limited to protein-coding sequences. Here, we attempt a genome-wide functional inference of advantageous heterozygosity at cis-regulatory regions. RESULTS: The single-nucleotide polymorphisms bearing the signatures of balancing...
