Investigation of leukocyte telomere length and hTERT gene MNS16A VNTR variant in microtia patients [PDF]

Aim: Telomeres are the basis of replicative senescence in somatic cells and control cell division. It has been shown in some studies that telomere shortening is associated with growth retardation and congenital malformations.
