Investigation of telomere length and psychological stress in rape victims

7 Nov 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Women are at an increased risk of depression and other mental health problems following rape. Various etiological factors for depression, including predisposing genetic factors, have been identified. Telomeres are repetitive nucleoprotein structures located at chromosomal ends that protect them from premature degradation. Telomeres reduce in length with each cell division, resulting in cellular...
