To gain insight into the biological function of the 7p15.3 (rs4487645) risk locus in myeloma, Weinhold et al. (2015) carried out an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis, which showed that the C risk allele results in elevated CDCA7L (cell division cycle associated 7 like) expression compared to the A “non-risk” allele. The gene discussed is CDCA7L; the disease is plasma cell myeloma.
