17 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomere dysfunction is involved in the development of breast cancer and very short telomeres are frequent genetic alterations in breast tumors. However, the influence of telomere lengths of specific chromosomal arms on the breast cancer risk is unknown. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study of breast cancer to examine the associations of the telomere length on chromosome 9 short arms (9p) and...
