Alternative lengthening of telomeres frequently occurs in mismatch repair system‐deficient gastric carcinoma
19 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Maintenance of telomeric ends by the telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex or the telomerase-independent alternative lengthening of telomeres is necessary for the immortalization of human cells. The significance of alternative lengthening of telomeres has been suggested in DNA mismatch repair system-deficient cells; however, much remains unknown in human malignancies. In this study, we investigated the telomere...
