Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have reported multiple genetic variations at 5p15.33 (TERT-CLPTM1L) associated with risk of lung cancer. However, most of the associated variations identified by GWAS thus far are unlikely to be the actual causal variants, but may be mostly marker-single nucleotide polymorphisms tagging functional variations that influence gene expression. This study aimed to explore...
