Abstract excerpt
The high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) risk locus at chromosome 1p34.3 resides within a frequently amplified genomic region signifying the presence of an oncogene. Here, we integrate in silico variant-to-function analysis with functional studies to characterize the oncogenic potential of candidate genes in the 1p34.3 locus. Fine mapping of genome-wide association statistics identified candidate causal SNPs...
