    The RNA-binding protein HuR modulates the expression of the disease-linked CCL2 rs1024611G-rs13900T haplotype

    Feroz Akhtar, Joselin Hernandez Ruiz ... Srinivas Mummidi
    Bioinformatics, RNA-protein interactions, and HuR-based functional studies demonstrated that the rs13900T allele modulates CCL2 transcript levels, providing a functional link between the CCL2 rs1024611G-rs13900T haplotype and disease susceptibility/progression.
