Risk-associated SNPs promote prostate cancer through modulating lncRNA expression

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent an attractive class of candidates to mediate cancer risk. Through integrative analysis of the lncRNA transcriptome with genomic data and SNP data from prostate cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS), researchers at the Princess Margaret Cancer Center identified 45 candidate lncRNAs associated with risk to prostate cancer. They further evaluated the mechanism underlying the top hit, ...
