Walking the walk from genes through telomere maintenance to cancer risk.

Cancer prevention research (Philadelphia, Pa.) - 1 Apr 2011

Blackburn Elizabeth H

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have shown associations between human population single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and white blood cell telomere shortness; independently, telomere shortness has been associated with higher risks of various cancers. However, no single previous study simultaneously linked a given SNP both with telomere length and reduced risk of cancer. In this issue of the journal (beginning on page 514), Gu...
