Identifying novel susceptibility genes for colorectal cancer risk from a transcriptome-wide association study of 125,478 subjects

Susceptibility genes and the underlying mechanisms for the majority of risk loci identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for colorectal cancer (CRC) risk remain largely unknown. We conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) to… Continue reading

Epigenomic Evaluation of Cholangiocyte TGFβ Signaling Identifies a Selective Role for Histone 3 Lysine 9 Acetylation in Biliary Fibrosis

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) upregulates cholangiocyte-derived signals that activate myofibroblasts and promote fibrosis. Using epigenomic and transcriptomic approaches, we sought to distinguish the epigenetic activation mechanisms downstream of… Continue reading
