Characterization of population-based variation and putative functional elements for the multiple-cancer susceptibility loci at 5p15.33 [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/49o]
Background: TERT encodes the telomerase reverse transcriptase, which is responsible for maintaining telomere ends by addition of (TTAGGG)n nucleotide repeats at the telomere. Recent genome-wide association studies have found common genetic variants at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus (5p15.33) associated wit...
