Meta-analysisN=1,513,186Unknown

Mendelian randomization study of 16 genetic variants in 10 telomere-related loci using summary data from 420,081 cancer cases and 1,093,105 controls. Genetically increased telomere length was associated with higher cancer risk (glioma OR 5.27 [3.15-8.81], lung adenocarcinoma 3.19 [2.40-4.22], neuroblastoma 2.98 [1.92-4.62]) but reduced risk for cardiovascular diseases and some immune conditions.

About STN1

OBFC1 and C17ORF68 (MIM 613129) are subunits of an alpha accessory factor (AAF) that stimulates the activity of DNA polymerase-alpha-primase (see MIM 176636), the enzyme that initiates DNA replication (Casteel et al., 2009 [PubMed 19119139]). OBFC1 also appears to function in a telomere-associated complex with C17ORF68 and TEN1 (C17ORF106; MIM 613130) (Miyake et al., 2009 [PubMed 19854130]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2009]
