Genetic Polymorphism, Telomere Biology and Non-Small Lung Cancer Risk.

Journal of genetics and genomics = Yi chuan xue bao - 20 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a number of chromosomal regions associated with the risk of lung cancer. Of these regions, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), especially rs2736100 located in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene show unique and significant association with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a few subpopulations including women, nonsmokers, East...
