The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the TERT rs2736100 and rs2736098 are associated with multicancer susceptibility, however, published findings regarding renal cell carcinoma (RCC) risk are conflicting. In addition, the potential of these SNPs to predict outcomes in RCC remains unclear. The present study is designed to address these questions.
