Project description:We investigated whether variants fine-mapped for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Type 1 Diabetes overlap with open chromatin regions specifically after stimulation. We show that rs117701653, a potentially causal variant for RA near CD28, overlaps open chromatin regions only after stimulation. We futhermore observe a small increase in enhancer activity for this variant under stimulatory conditions using a luciferase assay. Reads were anonimized prior to upload.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of 79 histologically diagnosed pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) in adults, of which we were able to upload 71 samples. The methylation profiling indicates that many of the histologically diagnosed PA do not show a concordant methylation classification.
