A functional variant on 20q13.33 related to glioma risk alters enhancer activity and modulates expression of multiple genes
FunctionalN=646Ali MW et al.(2021)· Human Mutation

This functional study identifies rs3761124 as a causal variant on 20q13.33 that modulates glioma risk through enhancer activity and altered expression of multiple genes, particularly STMN3. Using luciferase assays, CRISPR-Cas9 editing, and eQTL analysis across 646 individuals from brain tissue and tumor cohorts, the authors demonstrate that rs3761124 has allele-specific effects on enhancer activity and consistently associates with STMN3 expression. Colocalization analysis (PP4=0.82) supports rs3761124 as the causal variant underlying the GWAS signal at this locus.

About SLC2A4RG

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor involved in the activation of the solute carrier family 2 member 4 gene. The encoded protein interacts with another transcription factor, myocyte enhancer factor 2, to activate transcription of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
