TERT and cancer: In this study, we selected seven cancer-related DNA methylation markers: engulfment and cell motility 1 (ELMO1), zinc finger protein 582 (ZNF582), family with sequence similarity 19 member A4 (FAM19A4), paired box1 (PAX1), chromosome 13 open reading frame 18 (C13orf18), junctional adhesion molecule 3 (JAM3), and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT).
