Skin phenotypes can offer some insight about the association between telomere length and cancer susceptibility.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Dec 2016

Ribero S, Mangino M, Bataille V

Abstract excerpt

The role of telomere biology in cancer has been studied for a wide variety of different cancers but the association with telomere length has been controversial. This is because some cancers have been found to be associated with longer telomeres in circulating white cells whilst other cancer types are more common in individuals with shorter telomeres. Hence, there has been some skepticism as to whether telomere...
