Chromosomal instability (CIN) leads to an increase in aneuploidy and chromosomal aberrations in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Telomere shortening appears as one mechanism fostering the development of CIN. Whether telomere shortening correlates to specific genetic changes that characterize a
Hepatocellular telomere shortening correlates with chromosomal instability and the development of human hepatoma

Inherited mutations of the ATM gene are responsible for the human autosomal recessive disorder ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) characterized by pleiotropic clinical manifestations. ATM mutations are also involved in the development of sporadic human cancers such as T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia and B-c
## Abstract Alteration of DNA methylation is one of the most consistent epigenetic changes in human cancers. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1 is a major enzyme involved in establishing genomic methylation patterns. Most of the studies concerning DNMT1 expression in human cancers have been performed o
