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...
