Telomeric damage in early stage of chronic lymphocytic leukemia correlates with shelterin dysregulation
25 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cells of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) are characterized by short telomeres despite a low proliferative index. Because telomere length has been reported to be a valuable prognosis criteria, there is a great interest in a deep understanding of the origin and consequences of telomere dysfunction in this pathology. Cases of chromosome fusion involving extremely short telomeres have been reported at...
