Abstract excerpt
Several cancers harbor "enhancer-type" mutations of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter for immortalization. Here, we report that 8.6% (8/93) of ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCCs) possess the "suppressor-type" TERT promoter mutation. The recurrence rate of OCCCs with "suppressor-type" TERT promoter mutations was 62.5% (5/8) and was significantly higher than that of the "unaffected-type" with...
