Novel breast cancer susceptibility loci under linkage peaks identified in African ancestry consortia

20242 citationsOpen accessUniversity of Ibadan

Abstract

The two chr3 SNPs are upstream to open chromatin ENSR00000710716, a regulatory feature that is actively regulated in mammary tissues, providing evidence that variants in this chr3 region may have a regulatory role in our target organ. Our study provides support for breast cancer variant discovery using prioritization based on linkage evidence.
