Breast cancer associated germline structural variants harboring small noncoding RNAs impact post-transcriptional gene regulation

Abstract Copy Number Variants (CNVs) are a class of structural variations of DNA. Germline CNVs are known to confer disease susceptibility, but their role in breast cancer warrants further investigations. We hypothesized that breast cancer associated germline CNVs contribute to disease risk through...
