| Research Abstract |
Recent case-control genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which act as genetic risk factor, but most of SNPs which located on non-coding region are still unknown for their function. Since such SNP is predicted to act as a distal enhancer of responsible gene, we have developed a chromosome conformation capture method suitable for post-GWAS analysis. We demonstrated that tethered conformation capture (a comprehensive chromatin conformation capture method) and following pulldown using biotinylated RNA probe which is targeted to risk SNP region can detect spatially proximate genomic loci efficiently.
