Disruption of CTCF binding by germline non-coding variants in CDKN2B suppress CDKN2A expression and predispose to melanoma

Jessica L. Scales, Jayne A. Barbour, Alisa M. Goldstein, Rebecca Hennessey, Mai Xu, Abigail J Dennis, Sophie Papiernik, Jung Kim, Sudipto Das, Haocheng Yang, S. Chul Kwon, Kornelia Gladysz, Rohit Thakur, Joshuah Yon, Linh Bui-Raborn, , Xiaohong R Yang

The paper identifies non-coding variants in CDKN2B that disrupt CTCF binding, reduce CDKN2A expression, and increase melanoma risk in families.
