Deskripsi
Genetic variants on chromosome 8q24 are associated with prostate cancer risk in men of African ancestry. Here the authors show that one of these variants, rs72725854 alters the enhancer activity in its region, which upon androgen stimulation, activates multiple oncogenic lncRNAs and c-myc.
