8q24 prostate, breast, and colon cancer risk loci show tissue-specific long-range interaction with MYC.
The 8q24 gene desert contains risk loci for multiple epithelial cancers, including colon, breast, and prostate. Recent evidence suggests these risk loci contain enhancers. In this study, data are presented showing that each risk locus bears epigenetic marks consistent with enhancer elements and forms a long-range chromatin loop with the MYC proto-oncogene located several hundred kilobases telom...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium analysis identifies an FGFR1 haplotype-tag SNP associated with normal variation in craniofacial shape.
Mutations in FGFR1 and TWIST1 have been reported to affect the timing of calvarial suture fusion resulting in craniosynostosis and facial abnormalities. We screened nonpathologic populations for genetic polymorphisms that may associate with normal craniofacial variation. We identified 17 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FGFR1, 6 of which were novel (g.8591855G-->A, g.8593685G-->A, g.86...
متن کاملGenome-wide analyses of non-syndromic cleft lip with palate identify 14 novel loci and genetic heterogeneity
Non-syndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP) is the most serious sub-phenotype of non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFC), which are the most common craniofacial birth defects in humans. Here we conduct a GWAS of NSCLP with multiple independent replications, totalling 7,404 NSOFC cases and 16,059 controls from several ethnicities, to identify new NSCLP risk loci, and explore the genetic heterogen...

متن کاملGenetic variation in baboon craniofacial sexual dimorphism.
Sexual dimorphism is a widespread phenomenon and contributes greatly to intraspecies variation. Despite a long history of active research, the genetic basis of dimorphism for complex traits remains unknown. Understanding the sex-specific differences in genetic architecture for cranial traits in a highly dimorphic species could identify possible mechanisms through which selection acts to produce...
