 Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have reported multiple genetic variations at 5p15.33 (TERT-CLPTM1L) associated with risk of lung cancer.     ///    This study aimed to explore the function-validated and potentially functional variations in TERT-CLPTM1L locus conferring susceptibility to lung cancer.     ///    "These findings indicated that the function-validated and potentially functional variations in TERT-CLPTM1L locus, modified by smoking, may play a substantial role in the susceptibility to lung cancer.. "    ///    Genetic variations in TERT-CLPTM1L locus are associated with risk of lung cancer in Chinese population..
