TERT and breast carcinoma: First, we accessed the relative abundance of TERT expression and found a significant increase in the expression of hTERT levels in invasive forms of ductal (P-value<0.0001, 95% CI -0.2633029 to -0.1457771) and lobular (P-value<0.0001, 95% CI -0.1278589 to -0.0558411) breast carcinomas compared with that in normal tissue (Fig. 7).
