Functional study of potential regulatory SNPs (rs590352, rs11542583, rs3829202, rs78317230, rs2072580, rs4796672)

In a previous study using a new bioinformatic approach based on Chip-Seq data with antibodies against various transcription factors and histone modifications, ChiA-PET, RNA-seq and ICGC data, 32 potentially regulatory single - nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs) were associated with colorectal cancer. In this study, a functional analysis of 6 of these polymorphisms was performed using EMSA and the luciferase reporter system. These nucleotide substitutions have been shown to alter the binding of nuclear extract proteins and influence the expression of the reporter gene.
