TERT and lung carcinoma: So far, none of the studies concerned the relationship between rs2736098 in TERT and lung cancer in Caucasian population, although we found that the mutation allele frequency in Caucasian population was 37% through HapMap as well as the data in Asian population was 41% (http://snp.cshl.org/cgi-perl/gbrowse/hapmap24_B36/).
