TERT promoter mutations are frequent in cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

TERT promoter mutations are frequent in cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

Activating mutations in the TERT promoter were recently identified in up to 71% of cutaneous melanoma. Subsequent studies found TERT promoter mutations in a wide array of other major human cancers.
