Mechanistic basis of atypical TERT promoter mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Non-coding mutations in the TERT promoter (TERTp), typically at one of two bases -124 and -146 bp upstream of the start codon, are among the most prevalent driver mutations in human cancer. Several additional recurrent TERTp mutations have been reported but their functions and origins remain largely unexplained. Here, we show that atypical TERTp mutations arise secondary to canonical TERTp mutations in a two-step...
