A quick thing to do is to upload them to GREAT

Other long and complicated strategy is to check if those non-coding regions are a part of any regulatory elements. Data from Roadmap Epigenomics or ENCODE will give you the regulatory regions across multiple tissues. You can intersect your region with those regulatory elements.Once you know which tissue they are active, you can explore further by looking at the target genes etc
