“n” indicates is the number of times each mutation has been observed in this series of 74 patients; and ins, insertion.

*

TERT screening of 24 of these subjects has been reported previously.

The A279T substitution has previously been shown to be polymorphic; the F1127L substitution has also been described previously; the P721R substitution is described in this paper.

Previously published synonymous and intronic sequence changes are not included.
