OBFC1 has been suggested to play a role in maintaining telomere length and SNPs in this locus have been associated with many cancers including melanoma (Law et al., 2015; Ransohoff et al., 2017), glioma and non-glioblastoma glioma (Melin et al., 2017b), thyroid (Gudmundsson et al., 2017), basal cell carcinoma (Chahal et al., 2016), renal cell carcinoma (Scelo et al., 2017), ovarian cancer (Phelan et al., 2017), and lung adenocarcinoma (McKay et al., 2017). Here, STN1 is linked to ovarian cancer.
