Abstract excerpt
Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is pathologically expressed in the vast majority of human cancers, but the epigenetic regulation of its expression is only beginning to be understood. In particular, the active TERT gene in cancer cells has been characterized as having a hypermethylated CpG island, opposite to the general association of DNA methylation with gene repression. Here, we analyzed TERT promoter...
