( Tischler et al . 2017 ). Activation of TERT as a result of promoter mutations (specifically, chr5:1295228C > T and chr5:1295250C > T) were initially found in melanoma ( Horn et al . 2013 ) and have subsequently been shown to be one of the most

Introduction The telomerase enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, encoded by the telomerase reverse transcriptase ( TERT ) gene ( Cong et al. 2002 ). Telomerase activation is a hallmark of malignant

telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), a catalytic subunit of the telomerase enzyme complex. As the de-repression of TERT gene transcription is intimately coupled with the acquisition of telomerase activity in transformed cells, regulatory mechanisms
