Abstract excerpt
Telomerase promoter (TERTp) mutations are frequently observed in various types of tumours and commonly characterised by two specific hotspots located at positions -124 and -146 upstream of the start codon. They enhance TERTp activity, resulting in increased TERT expression. In central nervous system (CNS) tumours, they are integrated as biomarkers, aiding in the diagnosis and with a role in prognosis, where, in...
