abstract = {Extensive prior research focused on somatic copy-number
alterations (SCNAs) affecting cancer genes, yet the extent
to which recurrent SCNAs exert their influence through
rearrangement of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) remains
unclear. Here we present a framework for inferring
cancer-related gene overexpression resulting from CRE
reorganization (e.g., enhancer hijacking) by integrating
SCNAs, gene expression data and information on topologically
associating domains (TADs). Analysis of 7,416 cancer genomes
uncovered several pan-cancer candidate genes, including
IRS4, SMARCA1 and TERT. We demonstrate that IRS4
overexpression in lung cancer is associated with recurrent
deletions in cis, and we present evidence supporting a
tumor-promoting role. We additionally pursued
cancer-type-specific analyses and uncovered IGF2 as a target
for enhancer hijacking in colorectal cancer. Recurrent
tandem duplications intersecting with a TAD boundary mediate
de novo formation of a 3D contact domain comprising IGF2 and
a lineage-specific super-enhancer, resulting in high-level
gene activation. Our framework enables systematic inference
of CRE rearrangements mediating dysregulation in cancer.},
