Telomerase promoter mutations in human immunodeficiency virus-related conjunctiva neoplasia.

Journal of translational medicine - 21 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the conjunctiva is a common cancer in Africa mainly associated with solar ultraviolet (UV) exposure and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We analyzed the role of HIV on the occurrence of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations among a cohort of conjunctiva neoplasia Ugandan patients. METHODS: Telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter...
