Capture Hi-C identifies putative target genes at 33 breast cancer risk loci

Risk loci for breast cancer have been identified by genome-wide association studies. Here, the authors use Capture Hi-C to identify 110 putative target genes at 33 loci and assessed associations of gene expression, SNP genotype, and survival, providing evidence of mechanisms that may influence the p...

Description
Summary:Risk loci for breast cancer have been identified by genome-wide association studies. Here, the authors use Capture Hi-C to identify 110 putative target genes at 33 loci and assessed associations of gene expression, SNP genotype, and survival, providing evidence of mechanisms that may influence the prognosis and risk of breast cancer.
