Telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes contain many tandem repeats of a G-rich sequence (for example, TTAGGG in vertebrates). In most normal human cells, telomeres shorten with each cell division, and it is proposed that this limits the number of times these cells can replicate. Telomeres may be mainta
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Despite the recent discovery of interchromosomal telomere length variation, a role for heterogeneity in telomere maintenance has yet to be established. This study investigated the significance of telomere length variation between chromosomes with respect to the associatio
