Abstract excerpt
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) have investigated the role of genetically regulated transcriptional activity in the etiologies of breast and ovarian cancer. However, methods performed to date have focused on the regulatory effects of risk-associated SNPs thought to act in cis on a nearby target gene. With growing evidence for distal (trans) regulatory effects of variants on gene expression, we...
