About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0797
Species: human
Position : chr12:50760530-50762530
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Colorectal cancer (crc)
Pubmed ID:  30026326
Enhancer experiment: ATF1 ChIP-seq,PCR
Enhancer experiment description: We found a significant interaction between the TCF7L2 missense48 variant rs138649767 and a previous GWAS-identified regulatory variant rs6983267 in the49 MYC enhancer (Pinteraction = 0.0002). Functional analysis of this variant revealed that50 TCF7L2 with rs138649767-A allele harbored the ability to activate the MYC enhancer with51 rs6983267-G allele and enhance CRC cell proliferation. Further ChIP-seq and gene co-expression analyses showed that54 oncogenes NRAS and BRAF were activated by ATF1 in CRC.
