Bioinformatic Evaluation of Features on Cis-regulatory Elements at 6q25.1.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic non-coding regulatory features contribute significantly to cellular plasticity which on aberration leads to cellular malignancy. Enhancers are cis-regulatory elements that contribute to the development of resistance to endocrine therapy in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer leading to poor clinical outcome. ER is vital for therapeutic targets in ER-positive breast cancer. Here, we review and report the different regulatory features present on ER with the objective to delineate potential mechanisms which may contribute to development of resistance. The UCSC Genome Browser, data mining, and bioinformatics tools were used to review enhancers, transcription factors (TFs), histone marks, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and variants residing in the non-coding region of the
