Capture Hi-C identifies putative target genes at 33 breast cancer risk loci

Risk loci for breast cancer have been identified by genome-wide association studies. Here, the authors use Capture Hi-C to identify 110 putative target genes at 33 loci and assessed associations of gene expression, SNP genotype, and survival, providing evidence of mechanisms that may influence the p...
