About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_196
Enhancer symbol: --
Species: Human
Position : chr12:98559923-98563615
Biosample name: Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Experiment class : Low+High throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Schizophrenia
DO: DOID:5419
Mesh: D012559
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  25453756
Enhancer experiment: 3C,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Enhancer experiment description: We identified 4 SNPs (rs2159100, rs12315711, rs11062170, rs4765905) that are in perfect LD with rs758170 and rs1006737, and lie within two predicted enhancers (spanning 1.4Kb and 1.85Kb), ∼185Kb downstream from the gene’s TSS (Figure 5A, Figure 5B). To identify whether the predicted enhancer region might be capable of forming promoter–enhancer loops, we mapped its physical interaction with the CACNA1C TSS in human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (n = 6) and hiPSC derived-neurons by chromosome conformation capture (3C) assay. Of the 17 restriction site regions tested, only one displayed an increased interaction with the TSS in human postmortem tissue (Primer #4 in Figure 5A–D). This enhancer region includes rs2159100 (MAF = 0.35, GWAS P value = 1.1 × 10−10) and rs12315711 (MAF=0.35, GWAS P value = 1.1 × 10−10) and demonstrates increased interaction frequency with the CACNA1C promoter (F (16, 83) = 5.52, P = 8 × 10−8). In addition to being in an enhancer region, rs2159100 also co-localizes with a 600bp DHS region. Thus, we examined its effect on transcriptional activity in in vitro experiments. Compared to the reference rs2159100 C allele, the risk T variant is associated with decreased transcriptional activity in HEK-293 and Neuro-2a cells (42% (P < 0.0001) and 23% (P < 0.05) reduction in luciferase activity, respectively) (Figure 5E).
