Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with obvious genetic predisposition. Association studies have proposed that rs2853677, a SNP localizing at intron region of TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase), is significantly associated with TERT expression, telomere length and eventually lung cancer risk. However, functional genomics work indicates that rs2853677 is not with the ability to alter gene expression....
