Risk Variant Location
Odds Ratioa
Chromosome Nearby Gene
All glioma typesb
 3 TERC 1.2
 5 TERT 1.3
 7 EGFR 1.2
 8 CCDC26c 1.4
 9 CDKN2B/ANRIL 1.3
 11 PHLDB1 1.2
 17 TP53 2.4
 20 RTEL1 1.2
Oligodendroglial and IDH-mutated astrocytic tumors
 8 CCDC26d 6.3

aOdds ratios are for number of risk alleles. The source of the odds ratios are the following references: TERC [reference #10]; TERT, EGFR, CCDC26 (for all gliomas), CDKN2B/ANRIL, PHLDB1, RTEL1 [reference #6]; TP53 [reference #3]; CCDC26 for oligodendroglial and IDH-mutated astrocytic tumors [reference #19].

bIncludes WHO grades II-IV astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, oligoastrocytoma.

cvariant is rs4295627.

dvariant is rs55705857.

Abbreviations: TERC, telomerase RNA component; TERT, telomerase reverse transcriptase; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; CCDC26, coiled-coil domain-containing protein 26; CDKN2B, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B/ANRIL, antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus; PHLDB1, pleckstrin homology-like domain, family B, member 1; TP53, tumor protein P53; RTEL1, regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1.
