Telomere length in blood, buccal cells, and fibroblasts from patients with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes
23 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres, the nucleotide repeats and protein complex at chromosome ends, are required for chromosomal stability and are important markers of aging. Patients with dyskeratosis congenita (DC), an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (IBMFS), have mutations in telomere biology genes, and very short telomeres. There are limited data on intra-individual telomere length (TL) variability in DC and related disorders....
