Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations occur frequently in cancer, have been associated with increased TERT expression and cell proliferation, and could potentially influence therapeutic regimens for melanoma. As the role of TERT expression in malignant melanoma and the non-canonical functions of TERT remain understudied, we aimed to extend the current knowledge on the impact of TERT promoter...
