hTERT cancer risk genotypes are associated with telomere length.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 May 2012

Melin Beatrice S, Nordfjäll Katarina, Andersson Ulrika, Roos Göran

Abstract excerpt

Telomere biology is associated with cancer initiation and prognosis. Collected data suggest that blood cell telomere length (TL) can change over time, which may be related to development of common disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms in the region of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene were associated with various malignancies,...
