Allele-specific expression: applications in cancer and technical considerations.

Abstract excerpt

Allele-specific gene expression can influence disease traits. Non-coding germline genetic variants that alter regulatory elements can cause allele-specific gene expression and contribute to cancer susceptibility. In tumors, both somatic copy number alterations and somatic single nucleotide variants have been shown to lead to allele-specific expression of genes, many of which are considered drivers of tumor...
