Integrated RNA-seq and ChIP-seq role of TCL1A in transcriptional regulation across the genome by results suggest that TCL1A also acts as a transcriptional performing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immuno- coregulator with NF-kB p65, an important immune system precipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) assays with lymphoblastoid transcription factor. Introduction TCL1A expression was induced by estradiol (E2), but only in cell lines homozygous for variant genotypes for the TCL1A SNPs (Ho We previously performed a genome-wide association study et al., 2016a). These three SNPs appeared to act in concert to (GWAS) that identified three single-nucleotide polymorphisms influence estrogen-dependent TCL1A induction (Ho et al., 9 (SNPs) located 3 of the T-cell leukemia 1A (TCL1A)genethat 2016a). However, this expression pattern could be “reversed” were associated with musculoskeletal adverse events induced after estrogen receptor a blockadewiththeactivetamoxifen by aromatase inhibitors (AIs) (Ingle et al., 2010).

Subsequently, we part, to altered estrogen receptor binding to estrogen response performed functional genomic studies using a human variation elements, two of which are at a distance from the SNPs panel of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), and we found that (Ho et al., 2016a).
