Spectrum of TERT promoter mutations and mechanisms of activation in thyroid cancer.

Reactivation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is an important event in cancer. Two hotspot mutations in the TERT promoter region, c.-124C > T (C228T) and c.-146C > T (C250T), occur in various cancer types including thyroid cancer. They generate de novo binding sites for E-twenty-six (ETS) transcription factors causing increased TERT transcription. The aim of this study was to search for novel TERT promoter mutations and additional mechanisms of TERT activation in thyroid cancer.
