Functional polymorphisms in the TERT promoter are associated with risk of serous epithelial ovarian and breast cancers.

Functional polymorphisms in the TERT promoter are associated with risk of serous epithelial ovarian and breast cancers.

Genetic variation at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus at 5p15.33 is associated with susceptibility to several cancers, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We have carried out fine-mapping of this region in EOC which implicates an association with a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the TERT p...
