Background: Trans-eQTL can affect the expression of distal gene by inter or intra-chromosomal interaction, which may give rise to disease and cancer.But the mechanism remained unknown, we supposed that SNP firstly changes the histone modification level of where it locates by affecting the binding of histone methylase, then this effect is transferred to distal target gene by inter or intra-chromosomal interaction.TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) is the protein component of telomerase whose expression plays a role in senescence and oncogenesis.
