A genetic variant in telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) modifies cancer risk in Lynch syndrome patients harbouring pathogenic MSH2 variants

Abstract Individuals with Lynch syndrome (LS), have an increased risk of developing cancer. Common genetic variants of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) have been associated with a wide range of cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC) in LS.
