Genetic variation at the 8q24.21 renal cancer susceptibility locus affects HIF binding to a MYC enhancer

Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple loci associated with the risk of developing renal cancer. Here, the authors show that one of these loci generates open chromatin, which enhances the binding of HIF and HIF-mediated transactivation ofMYC.
