A promoter-proximal transcript targeted by genetic polymorphism controls E-cadherin silencing in human cancers

Promoter-proximal transcripts have been proposed to act ascis-acting elements regulating transcription. Here, the authors provide evidence that a promoter-proximal RNA, in combination with other epigenetic regulators, controls transcription of E-cadherin in epithelial cancers.
