Abstract

Cancer arises from genetic alterations that produce dysregulated gene expression programs. Normal gene regulation occurs in the context of chromosome loop structures called insulated neighborhoods, and recent studies have shown that these structures are altered and can contribute to oncogene dysregulation in various cancer cells. We review the types of genetic and epigenetic alterations that influence neighborhood structures and contribute to gene dysregulation in cancer, present models for insulated neighborhoods associated with the most prominent human oncogenes, and discuss how such models may lead to further advances in cancer diagnosis and therapy.
