Abstract excerpt

Telomeres are essential for maintaining chromosomal stability and are crucial in tumor progression. Previous studies have explored the associations between telomere length and cancer prognosis, but the findings are inconclusive. Genome-wide association studies have identified several genetic variants associated with telomere length in Caucasians. However, the roles of telomere length and related genetic variants...
