hTERT, BICD1 and Chromosome 18 Polymorphisms Associated with Telomere Length Affect Kidney Allograft Function After Transplantation

hTERT, BICD1 and Chromosome 18 Polymorphisms Associated with Telomere Length Affect Kidney Allograft Function After Transplantation

Background/Aims: It has been confirmed that telomere length (TL) correlates with chronological donor age and that telomere shortening is accelerated in allografts. The aim of this study was to analyse the associations between graft rs2735940 hTERT and rs2630578 BICD1 gene polymorphisms and rs7235755...
