Genetic variation in telomere maintenance genes, telomere length and breast cancer risk.

Genetic variation in telomere maintenance genes, telomere length and breast cancer risk.

Telomeres at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and stability of the genome and participate in the initiation of DNA damage/repair responses.We performed a case-control study to evaluate the role of three SNPs (TERT-07, TERT-54 and POT1-03) in telome...
