Abstract:Background: Studies investigating the relationship between germline telomere length and the clinical characteristics of tumors are very limited. This study evaluated the relationship between germline telomere length and the clinical characteristics of neuroblastoma. In addition, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to investigate the genetic factors associated with telomere length. Methods: The telomere length of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 186 patients with neuroblastoma was measur… Show more
