Summary
This genomic sequence includes a genetic variant, rs9811216, that is in strong linkage disequilibrium with a melanoma risk locus identified at 3q26.2 in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), and for which the reference allele has a risk effect. A subregion was validated as a functional enhancer by massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) in C283T melanocytes, where differences in transcriptional activity were observed between the reference and alternative rs9811216 alleles. This locus also includes an accessible chromatin subregion that was validated as a silencer based on its ability to repress an origin of replication minimal core promoter by the ATAC-STARR-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing) MPRA in GM12878 lymphoblastoid cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
