摘要: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a number of chromosomal regions associated with the risk lung cancer. Of these regions, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), especially rs2736100 located in telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene show unique and significant non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) few subpopulations including women, nonsmokers, East Asians those adenocarcinoma. also linked longer telomere length risk. In this review, we seek to summarize relationship between factors further link underlying biology etiology. We conclude that genetic alleles combined environmental (e.g., less-smoking) physiological (gender age) confer are strong for NSCLC. This linkage may be particularly relevant adenocarcinoma driven by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, as mutations been strongly female gender, less-smoking history, histology Asian ethnicity. By establishing connection, argument is made investigating involvement entities during tumorigenesis
