TERT-CLPTM1L Polymorphism rs401681 Contributes to Cancers Risk: Evidence from a Meta-Analysis Based on 29 Publications
BACKGROUND Some common genetic variants of TERT-CLPTM1L gene, which encode key protein subunits of telomerase, have been suggested to play a crucial role in tumorigenesis. The TERT-CLPTM1L polymorphism rs401681 was of special interest for cancers risk but with inconclusive results. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of 29 publications with a total of 912...
متن کاملRs401681 polymorphism in TERT-CLPTM1L was associated with bladder cancer risk: A meta-analysis
Objective(s):Genome-wide association studies have identified a number of genetic variants of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), cleft lip and palate transmembrane1-like (CLPTM1L) associated with the risk of bladder cancer. Rs401681 polymorphism in TERT-CLPTM1L was of special interest for bladder cancer risk, whereas the results were inconclusive. Materials and Methods:Publications illustr...

متن کاملDecreased risk of developing lung cancer in subjects carrying the CLPTM1L rs401681 (G>A) polymorphism: evidence from a meta-analysis.
UNLABELLED A genome-wide association study revealed that a single nucleotide polymorphism, CLPTM1L - rs401681 (G>A), located at the 5p15.33 locus was significantly associated with increased risk of various cancers; however, its association with lung cancer is currently inconclusive. In order to explore the relationship between this polymorphism and lung cancer risk more precisely, we performed ...
متن کاملNo association between TERT-CLPTM1L single nucleotide polymorphism rs401681 and mean telomere length or cancer risk.
BACKGROUND A recent study reported genetic variants in the TERT-CLPTM1L locus that were associated with mean telomere length, and with risk of multiple cancers. METHODS We evaluated the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs401681 (C > T) and mean telomere length, using quantitative real-time PCR, in blood-extracted DNA collected from 11,314 cancer-free participants from ...
