TERT and endometrial cancer: Although yet to be functionally characterized, rs62329728 is in LD (r2 > 0.8) with additional SNPs across the TERT–CLPTM1L region which are located within areas of open chromatin, transcription factor binding or chromatin interactions in multiple ENCODE cell lines including the Ishikawa endometrial cancer cell line (Supplementary Fig. 1c), and hence may have regulatory potential.
