The gene‐based analysis was performed by Versatile Gene‐based Association Study 2 (VEGAS2, https://vegas2.qimrberghofer.edu.au/). The CancerSplicingQTL database (http://www.cancersplicingqtl‐hust.com/#/) was used to predict the splicing of SNPs. Enhancer states of SNPs were predicted through 3DSNP v2.0 (https://omic.tech/3dsnpv2/). To explore associations between variants and various traits, we used the MRC‐IEU OpenGWAS database (https://gwas.mrcieu.ac.uk/). 29
Oncomine (https://www.oncomine.org) was used to assess gene expression in multiple tumour tissues. The differences in mRNA expression levels were calculated using the TCGA dataset, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and in‐house RNA‐Seq data.
