“…One likely mechanism is 'enhancer hijacking' (Beroukhim et al, 2016;Northcott et al, 2014), also previously termed 'enhancer adoption' (Lettice et al, 2011), whereby a structural variant removes or moves a TAD boundary to expose TSSs to regulatory enhancers from which they would normally be insulated. While there have been intriguing examples of TAD boundary disruptions in developmental diseases (Franke et al, 2016;Kraft et al, 2015;Lupiáñez et al, 2015;Symmons et al, 2016), the effect of structural variants on chromatin features like TAD boundaries has received relatively little systematic attention outside of cancer (Ibn-Salem et al, 2014), until the past year (Flöttmann et al, 2017;Huynh and Hormozdiari, 2018;Krefting et al, 2017;Lazar et al, 2017;Zepeda-Mendoza et al, 2017).…”
