Association of Telomere Length of Peripheral Blood Leukocytes With Hematopoietic Relapse, Malignant Transformation, and Survival in Severe Aplastic Anemia
21 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Critically short telomeres produce apoptosis, cell senescence, and chromosomal instability in tissue culture and animal models. Variations in telomere length have been reported in severe aplastic anemia but their clinical significance is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between telomere length and clinical outcomes in severe aplastic anemia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: Single...
