    PLoS Biol 6:e108. 2008
    ..We propose a model in which the Oct-1/Runx2 and C/EBPbeta binding sites in the disease-associated allele are able to lead to an increase in FGFR2 gene expression, thereby increasing the propensity for tumour formation...

    Kerstin B Meyer
    Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute, United Kingdom
    PLoS Genet 7:e1002165. 2011
    ..In conclusion, we identified a new functional prostate cancer risk variant at the 8q24 locus, rs378854 allele G, that reduces binding of the YY1 protein and is associated with increased expression of PVT1 located 0.5 Mb downstream...
