Abstract excerpt
Among central nervous system (CNS) tumors, gliomas are the most prevalent type of tumor. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene have been identified as risk loci for gliomas by previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We examined association between TERT variants and glioma risk in a Korean population. For a case-control study, a total of 32 TERT SNPs from...
