Analyzing the SNPs individually we confirm the association between TERT-rs2736100-C allele and increased risk of developing MPNs and we report a novel association of the OBFC1-rs9420907-C variant with higher MPN risk (ORallelic = 1.43; 95% CI 1.15–1.77; P = 1.35 × 10−3). The gene discussed is STN1; the disease is myeloproliferative neoplasm.
