Figure 3From: A mutation in the H/ACA box of telomerase RNA component gene (TERC) in a young patient with myelodysplastic syndrome STELA showed extremely short telomeres in the patient. STELA was employed to address telomere length and distribution in the patient in a chromosome-specific manner (chromosomes XpYp, 12q, and 17p). A representative XpYp STELA obtained from a healthy donor (age 38Â years) is shown as a control. Mean telomere length (TL; kb) is represented under each STELA result. Molecular weight markers (kb) are indicated on the left.Back to article page
