Genetic variants associated with mosaic Y chromosome loss highlight cell cycle genes and overlap with cancer susceptibility.
- Abstract:
-
The Y-chromosome is frequently lost in hematopoietic cells, representing the most common somatic mutation in men. However, the mechanisms regulating mosaic loss of chromosome-Y (mLOY), and its clinical relevance, are unknown. Using genotype array intensity data and sequence reads in 85,542 men, we identify 19 genomic regions (P<5x10-8) associated with mLOY. Cumulatively, these loci also predicted X-chromosome loss in women (N=96,123, P=4x10-6). Additional epigenome-wide methylation anal...
