    Figure 1.

    Twenty risk regions analyzed as part of the GAME-ON OncoArray, including 17 pleiotropic regions conferring risks to two or more common cancers (breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, or prostate cancers). A, Circos plot illustrating the 24 different regions ordered by chromosome and cytoband. The index SNP(s) at each locus are color coded by cancer type. B, Integration of correlated risk SNPs at each locus with regional catalogs of regulatory marks for related tissue types for common cancers to identify SNPs intersecting tissue-specific regulatory targets. Publicly available genome-wide regulatory profiling data were available for the HMECs (human mammary epithelial cells; specific to breast cancer), LNCap cancer cells (for prostate cancer), CaOV3 cancers (for ovarian cancer), SAEC cells (for lung cancer). The first column indicates a risk-associated SNP that intersects a regulatory mark, color coded by cancer type. For other columns, colored squares represent an intersection between a risk associated SNP and a regulatory mark, and in which tissue type, indicating which marks are common across tissues and which are tissue specific. White squares indicate the most strongly associated SNPs (index SNP) in a region and a dot within the square indicates an intersection between a regulatory mark and an index. The position of each regulatory mark is indicated relative to hg19 coordinates. In B, only SNPs with regulatory marks are shown, thus excluding 24 of the regional associations shown in A.

    Correlation between replicate HapMap samples genotyped at Cambridge versus the Center for Inherited Disease Research. Samples 1–8 are of European origin while samples 9–14 are Asian or African. There are multiple replicates of samples 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8. Samples 1–8 are European, 9–10 are Chinese, sample 11 is Japanese, and samples 12–14 are Yoruban.
