The transcription factor GABP selectively binds and activates the mutant TERT promoter in cancer

TL;DR: Cancer-associated mutations in the promoter of the telomerase gene allow increased activation by transcription factor binding, and GABP thus directly links TERT promoter mutations to aberrant expression in multiple cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic signatures of exceptional longevity in humans.

TL;DR: In-silico analysis suggests that 90% of centenarians can be grouped into clusters characterized by different “genetic signatures” of varying predictive values for exceptional longevity.

Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases A Mendelian Randomization Study

TL;DR: It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population.
