Intriguingly, Haploreg motif prediction identified 16 of the 209 variants (7 different loci: MAU2, PDS5B, REC8, SMC1B, STAG3, RAD21L1, STAG1) as residing within protein binding domains associated with cohesin-related DNA interactions (i.e. RAD21, SMC3, and CTCF). Pathway enrichment implicates coordinated regulation of cohesin with essential cell cycle genes CoDeS3D identified 140 variants as being physically connected to, and associated with the expression levels of 310 genes (243 genes from eQTL-attributed variants, 141 from GWAS-attributed variants, and 74 overlap) across 6,795 significant tissue-specific regulatory connections (FDR p<0.05). ./cache/cord-103465-6udhvl9n.txt ./txt/cord-103465-6udhvl9n.txt
