Abstract excerpt
Several recent studies point to the possibility that telomere maintenance may constitute a potential genetic marker of radiosensitivity. For example, the human diseases ataxia telangiectasia and Nijmegen breakage syndrome, which are characterized by clinical radiosensitivity, show alterations in telomere maintenance. In addition, Fanconi's anemia patients, who are characterized by mild cellular radiosensitivity...
