Among the list of 41 TERT SNPs for which we were able to identify a previous report of a significant association with cancer in a European ancestry population (Supplementary Table 5), only those SNPs which are in LD with rs7705526 showed even nominally significant associations with endometrial cancer (with the exceptions of P = 0.032 for rs402710 and P = 0.041 for rs13172201), and none remained significant after conditioning on rs7705526. Here, TERT is linked to cancer.
