Telomere stability genes are not mutated in osteosarcoma cell lines.

Abstract excerpt

Osteosarcoma (OS), the most common primary bone tumor in adolescents and young adults, is characterized by a high degree of chromosomal abnormalities. Because telomeres are important for maintaining chromosomal integrity, it is plausible that germ-line or somatic mutations in the genes responsible for stabilizing the telomere complex could contribute to OS. We performed bi-directional sequence analysis in five OS...
