Text

To identify the tissues in which HR-associated SNVs are active, we used FORGE to look for enrichment of DHSs in 299 tissue samples from the Roadmap Epigenome Project (37). FORGE calculates enrichment for overlap of HR variants with DHS by comparison with overlap of DHSs with 1000 matched background variant sets (matching distance to transcriptional start sites, GC content and MAF).
