We divided UTUC patients into two groups: UTUCs with a wt and mutant TERT promoter, respectively and observed that the AC allele was negatively associated with wt promoter-carrying UTUCs (OR = 0.597 (95% CI: 0.372 – 0.960, P = 0.044), whereas there was no association between the same variant and those with a mutant TERT promoter (Table 3). The gene discussed is TERT; the disease is renal pelvis/ureter urothelial carcinoma.
