Genetic variation in telomere maintenance genes, telomere length, and lung cancer susceptibility.

Lung cancer (Amsterdam, Netherlands) - 1 Nov 2009

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres are responsible for the protection of the chromosome ends and shortened telomere length has been associated with risk of multiple cancers. Genetic variation in telomere-related genes may alter cancer risk associated with telomere length. Using lung cancer cases (n=120) and population-based controls (n=110) from Xuanwei, China, we analyzed telomere length separately and in conjunction with single...
