Constitutive telomere length and gastric cancer risk: Case‐control analysis in Chinese Han population
27 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
The shortening of telomeres may result in chromosome instability and thus promote tumorigenesis. Previous studies have demonstrated clear involvement of telomere shortening in the carcinogenesis of several malignancies. However, the association between constitutive telomere shortening and gastric cancer development has yet to be established. Therefore, in the present study, we measured average telomere length...
