Popis: Large scale cancer genomic studies in patients have unveiled millions of non-coding variants. While a handful have been shown to drive cancer development, the vast majority have unknown function. This review describes the challenges of functionally annotating non-coding cancer variants and understanding how they contribute to cancer. We summarize recently developed high-throughput technologies to address these challenges. Finally, we outline future prospects for non-coding cancer genetics to help catalyze personalized cancer therapy.
