Telomeric association: another characteristic of cancer chromosomes?
Abstract
Telomeric associations between single chromatids and double chromatids of nonhomologous normal human chromosomes and altered markers were observed in two morphologically distinct squamous-cell carcinoma lines derived from a surgical specimen. Chromosomes 2, 3, 5, and 16 were associated by their telomeric ends more frequently than other chromosomes.
