- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, SNPs at the TERT locus in breast, ovarian and BRCA1 mutation carrier cancer cases and controls and leukocyte telomere measurements are analyzed to find associations cluster into three independent peaks.

- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: In an analysis of 31,717 cancer cases and 26,136 cancer-free controls from 13 genome-wide association studies, this paper observed large chromosomal abnormalities in a subset of clones in DNA obtained from blood or buccal samples.

Detectable clonal mosaicism and its relationship to aging and cancer

Kevin B. Jacobs, +188 more
TL;DR: Large chromosomal abnormalities in a subset of clones in DNA obtained from blood or buccal samples underscore the time-dependent nature of somatic events in the etiology of cancer and potentially other late-onset diseases.
