Short telomere length and breast cancer risk: a study in sister sets.

Cancer research - 1 Jun 2007

Shen Jing, Terry Mary Beth, Gurvich Irina, Liao Yuyan, Senie Ruby T, Santella Regina M

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres consist of a tandem repeats of the sequence TTAGGG at the ends of chromosomes and play a key role in the maintenance of chromosomal stability. Previous studies indicated that short telomeres are associated with increased risk for human bladder, head and neck, lung, and renal cell cancer...
