Abstract excerpt

Telomeres are specialized chromatin structures essential for the maintenance of chromosomal integrity and stability. Telomere shortening has been linked to multiple aging-related diseases, including cancer. Evidence associating telomere length with breast cancer risk-most of which has been from retrospective case-control studies-is conflicting. We conducted a nested case-control study based on the Shanghai...
