FKBP5 and adenocarcinoma: We demonstrate 1) the capacity to functionally assess edited TF binding sites to query response element function, and 2) the efficacy and utility of these tools, by analyzing cell populations targeted by Cas9 for disruption of example glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding motifs near FKBP5, a GR-regulated gene in the human adenocarcinoma cell line A549.
