A Prostate Cancer Risk Element Functions as a Repressive Loop that Regulates HOXA13.

Abstract excerpt

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the leading cancer among men in the United States, with genetic factors contributing to ∼42% of the susceptibility to PCa. We analyzed a PCa risk region located at 7p15.2 to gain insight into the mechanisms by which this noncoding region may affect gene regulation and contribute to PCa risk. We performed Hi-C analysis and demonstrated that this region has long-range interactions with the...
