Telomere length on chromosome 17q shortens more than global telomere length in the development of breast cancer.
It is known that total telomere length is shorter in invasive breast cancer than in normal breast tissue but the status of individual telomere lengths has not been studied. Part of the difficulty is that usually telomere length in interphase cells is measured on all chromosomes together. In this study we compared normal breast epithelium, duct carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and invasive duct carcino...
متن کاملTelomere Length Variations and Chromosome Fusions in Human Tumor Cells

متن کاملLeukocyte telomere length: the telomere tale continues.
In culture, replicating human somatic cells display progressive telomere shortening. Ultimately, such cells either undergo apoptosis or enter a state of replicative senescence that is triggered by critically shortened telomeres. Accordingly, telomere length is an index of both the replicative history and the replicative potential of human somatic cells in culture (1). Most replicating human som...
متن کاملChromosome 9 arm-specific telomere length and breast cancer risk.
BACKGROUND Telomere dysfunction is involved in the development of breast cancer and very short telomeres are frequent genetic alterations in breast tumors. However, the influence of telomere lengths of specific chromosomal arms on the breast cancer risk is unknown. METHODS We conducted a case-control study of breast cancer to examine the associations of the telomere length on chromosome 9 sho...
متن کاملExtreme Telomere Length Dimorphism in the Tasmanian Devil and Related Marsupials Suggests Parental Control of Telomere Length
Telomeres, specialised structures that protect chromosome ends, play a critical role in preserving chromosome integrity. Telomere dynamics in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) are of particular interest in light of the emergence of devil facial tumour disease (DFTD), a transmissible malignancy that causes rapid mortality and threatens the species with extinction. We used fluorescent in...
