Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomerase is a general diagnostic and prognostic molecular tumor marker since it is expressed in the majority of human tumors in contrast to most healthy tissues. Alternate splicing of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) has been shown to affect telomerase activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We have developed a hybridization assay that selectively detects the hTERT beta-plus transcript....
