Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and in particular relates to a kit and a method for detecting TERT gene polymorphism by pyrosequencing. Background technique
[0002] Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer. In my country, more than 800,000 people die from lung cancer every year. The etiology of lung cancer has not yet been fully clarified, and it may be related to genetic and environmental factors. Studies on a large sample population found that the mutation of TERT gene (rs2736100) is closely related to the genetic susceptibility to lung cancer, and the risk of developing lung cancer in non-mutated individuals is significantly higher than that in mutated individuals (J Natl Cancer Inst. 2010,102(13):959 -71; Carcinogenesis. 2009, 30(6):987โ990). TERT has three genotypes, GG, GT and TT, in which GG is wild-type homozygous, GT is heterozygous, and TT is mutant homozygous. The risk of lung cancer in TERT wild-type homozyg...
