Abstract excerpt
Recently, some genome-wide association studies have implicated telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and cleft lip and palate transmembrane 1-like gene (CLPTM1L) in lung cancer development. Here, we present a case-control study that evaluates the genetic effects of TERT-rs2736098 and CLPTM1L-rs401681 variants on the risk of lung cancer development in a Chinese male population. We found that the homozygous...
