Low-grade glioma risk SNP rs11706832 is associated with type I interferon response pathway genes in cell lines.

ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have contributed to our understanding of glioma susceptibility. To date, 25 risk loci for development of any of the glioma subtypes are known. However, GWAS studies reveal little about the molecular processes that lead to increased risk, especially for non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). A particular SNP in intron 2 of LRIG1, rs11706832, has been shown to increase the susceptibility for IDH1 mutated low-grade gliomas (LGG). Leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains protein 1 (LRIG1) is important in cancer development as it negatively regulates the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); however, the mechanism responsible for this particular risk SNP and its potential effect on LRIG1 are not known. Using CRISPR-CAS9, we edited
