Abstract excerpt
Telomere maintenance, most commonly achieved by telomerase activation through induction of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene, is required for cell immortalization, a hallmark of cancer. Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an endocrine tumor for which TERT promoter mutations and telomerase activation have been reported. The present study assessed alterations of the TERT gene locus and telomere length...
