Table 3 Disease association (DA) statistics for enhancers and transcription factors (TFs) within TADs in breast and prostate cancer. TADs are divided into two groups, containing no SNPs with a significant association to disease (control) and those containing at least one SNP with a significant disease association (SNP-rich). Statistics include the number of TADs used in the analysis, quantiles, and the inter-quantile range (IQR)
