Abstract:
What's new? Variants in several telomere‐related genes have been linked to cancer risk. Here the authors systematically searched for associations between 〉 200,000 variants in 22 of these gene regions and colorectal, breast, prostate, ovarian, and lung cancer risk utilizing a novel ASSociation analysis based on SubSET (ASSET) meta‐analytic approach. They identified several independent variants with a complex association pattern across cancer types, providing the basis for new mechanistic studies into the role of telomere structure and maintenance in cancer.
