Reproducibility of telomere length assessment: an international collaborative study
BACKGROUND Telomere length is a putative biomarker of ageing, morbidity and mortality. Its application is hampered by lack of widely applicable reference ranges and uncertainty regarding the present limits of measurement reproducibility within and between laboratories. METHODS We instigated an international collaborative study of telomere length assessment: 10 different laboratories, employin...
متن کاملAn international Ki67 reproducibility study.
BACKGROUND In breast cancer, immunohistochemical assessment of proliferation using the marker Ki67 has potential use in both research and clinical management. However, lack of consistency across laboratories has limited Ki67's value. A working group was assembled to devise a strategy to harmonize Ki67 analysis and increase scoring concordance. Toward that goal, we conducted a Ki67 reproducibili...
متن کاملa contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals
writing an academic article requires the researchers to provide support for their works by learning how to cite the works of others. various studies regarding the analysis of citation in m.a theses have been done, while little work has been done on comparison of citations among elt scopus journal articles, and so the dearth of research in this area demands for further investigation into citatio...
Reproducibility of radiographs with the orthopantomograph 5: tooth-length assessment.
The precision of tooth-length assessments based on repeated panoramic radiographs made with a Siemens OP 5 was investigated in three groups of twenty patients. Two exposures of the same patient were made under three different radiographic conditions. Of the tooth lengths, nonmeasurability was found in 14% to 17%. The variability (standard deviation) of the measurements assessed from repeated ra...
متن کاملEffect of pre-analytic variables on the reproducibility of qPCR relative telomere length measurement
Telomeres, long nucleotide repeats and a protein complex at chromosome ends, shorten with each cell division and are susceptible to oxidative damage. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a widely-used technique to measure relative telomere length (RTL) in DNA samples but is challenging to optimize and significant lab-to-lab variability has been reported. In this study, we evaluated factors that may contr...
