The TBXT rs2305089 SNP links the benign notochordal cell tumour and chordoma
Abstract The aim of this research was to investigate the pathogenesis of the bone cancer chordoma and the role of the germline rs2305089 SNP in TBXT. Using medical imaging and genotyping studies, we observed that benign notochordal cell tumours (BNCTs) were associated with chordomas and with the variant rs2305089 A‐allele with enrichment of the AA ...
