Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 7 loci influencing glioma risk: rs2736100 (TERT), rs11979158 and rs2252586 (EGFR), rs4295627 (CCDC26), rs4977756 (CDKN2A/CDKN2B), (PHLDB1), and (RTEL1). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied the relationship among these 7 glioma-risk SNPs and characteristics of tumors from 1374 patients, including...
