Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the relative leukocyte telomere length (RLTL) and gene polymorphisms involved in its regulation with the occurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with OSCC and healthy subjects were examined. Genotyping and RLTL measurement were carried out using rPCR. RESULTS: The OSCC group had longer telomeres than...
