Associations have also been reported between the TERT- CLPTM1L (cleft lip and palate transmembrane 1-like gene - cisplatin resistance-related protein 9-) locus and lung cancer (rs402710; OR = 1.17; P = 2×10−7) [22], basal cell carcinoma (rs401681; OR = 1.20; P = 4.8×10−9) [24], pancreatic cancer (rs401681; OR 1.19; (P = 3.66×10−7) [25], and multiple cancer types that are known to originate in the epithelium, including bladder, prostate and cervical cancer [26]. The gene discussed is TERT; the disease is lung carcinoma.
