Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It is well known that telomerase activity is suppressed in normal human tissues and reactivated in tumors, suggesting that the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT, MIM: 187270) gene may be involved in carcinogenesis. A polymorphic tandem repeat minisatellite located downstream of exon 16 of hTERT and upstream in the putative promoter region of an antisense hTERT transcript, termed MNS16A,...
