Telomere structure and maintenance gene variants and risk of five cancer types
Meta-analysisN=136,308Sara Karami et al.(2016)· International Journal of Cancer

Meta-analysis of 204,993 SNPs in 22 telomere structure and maintenance genes identified 13 independent SNPs associated with colorectal, breast, prostate, ovarian, and lung cancer risk in 61,851 cases and 74,457 controls of European descent. Seven of these associations were novel findings. Notable findings include rs12655062 (positively associated with prostate cancer, inversely with colorectal/ovarian cancers), rs75316749 (positively associated with colorectal, breast, ovarian, and lung cancers), rs974404 and rs12144215 in DCLRE1B (inversely associated with prostate/lung and colorectal/breast/ovarian cancers respectively), rs34978822 in RTEL1 (inversely associated with prostate/lung cancers), and rs116895242 near POT1 (inversely associated with colorectal, ovarian, and lung cancers).
