INTRODUCTION Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes located at the end of chromosomes
that protect chromosome ends from degradation and fusion. The DNA component of …

Background: Arsenic exposure affects> 200 million people worldwide, including> 50 million
in Bangladesh. Arsenic exposure increases the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases …

Background Leucocyte telomere length (TL) is a potential biomarker of ageing and risk for
age-related disease. Leucocyte TL is heritable and shows substantial differences by …

Background Chronic arsenic exposure is associated with increased risk for arsenical skin
lesions, cancer, and other adverse health outcomes. One potential mechanism of arsenic …

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a heritable trait with two potential sources of heritability
(h 2): inherited variation in non-telomeric regions (eg, SNPs that influence telomere …

Background: Common genetic variation in the arsenic methyltransferase (AS3MT) gene
region is known to be associated with arsenic metabolism efficiency (AME), measured as the …

Background Exposure to arsenic in drinking water is a global health problem and arsenic-
induced skin lesions are hallmark of chronic arsenic toxicity. We and others have reported …

Telomeres are tandem repeat sequences at the end of chromosomes that bind proteins to
protect chromosome ends. Telomeres shorten with age, and shorter leukocyte telomere …

Drug craving triggered by cues that were once associated with drug intoxication is a major
contributor to continued drug-seeking behaviors. Addictive drugs engage molecular …
