Popis: | Fanconi's anaemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive bone marrow failure that often evolves towards acute leukaemia. FA also belongs to a group of chromosome instability diseases. Because telomeres are directly involved in chromosomal stability and in cell proliferation capacity, we examined telomere metabolism in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Telomere length was significantly shorter in 54 FA patient samples, compared to 51 controls (P |
