The pattern of chromosome-specific variations in telomere length in humans shows signs of heritability and is maintained through life.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 May 2006

Graakjaer J, Londono-Vallejo J A, Christensen K, Kølvraa S

Abstract excerpt

This paper characterizes the distribution of telomere length on individual chromosome arms in humans. By fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), followed by computer-assisted analysis of digital images, it is shown that the distribution of telomere length on individual chromosome arms is not random, but that humans have a common telomere profile. This profile exists in lymphocytes, amniocytes and fibroblasts,...
