One proposed explanation is that they could modify the expression of FIGNL1, due to these SNPs have been described as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), which are genomic loci that regulate the levels expression of the mRNA of the neighbor gene FIGNL1, an important gene involved in maintenance of genomic stability, in DNA double‐strand break (DBS) repair, via homologous recombination and cancer prevention. Here, FIGNL1 is linked to cancer.
