Team Science: DCEG Research on Telomere Biology and Cancer Risk

Investigators in the Clinical Genetics Branch study inherited cancer predisposition syndromes like dyskeratosis congenita (DC). Patients with DC have very short telomeres and elevated risk for multiple cancers. An NIH Intramural Research Program video highlights the team's search for genetic variations associated with abnormal telomeres.
