摘      要：To the Editor,we would like to discuss the publicationAnalysis of MNS16A VNTR polymorphic sequence variations of the TERT gene and associated risk for development of bladder cancer.[1]Anwar et *** thatThe MNS16A VNTR short allele(S)was associated with a higher risk for bladder cancer in our population as compared to long alleles.[1].We agree that MNS16A VNTR short allele might be associated with a risk of bladder cancer.
