To the Editor,we would like to discuss the publication"Analysis of MNS16A VNTR polymorphic sequence variations of the TERT gene and associated risk for development of bladder cancer."[1]Anwar et al.mentioned that"The 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.
