TERT and lung cancer: In a subset of six studies with available data (IARC, MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), MEC, NCI, Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute study (SLRI), and WHI), when conditioning on the known TERT risk variant for lung cancer (rs2736100; linkage disequilibrium [LD] with rs2853676 in European CEU: r2 = 0.17), the association with adenocarcinoma was attenuated (OR = 1.06; P = .09).
