Allele-specific epigenetic activity in prostate cancer and normal prostate tissue implicates prostate cancer risk mechanisms.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of prostate cancer have identified >250 significant risk loci, but the causal variants and mechanisms for these loci remain largely unknown. Here, we sought to identify and characterize risk-harboring regulatory elements by integrating epigenomes from primary prostate tumor and normal tissues of 27 individuals across the H3K27ac, H3K4me3, and H3K4me2 histone marks and FOXA1...
