Abstract

To study the incidence of telomerase gene mutations in Chinese patients with acquired bone marrow failure (BMF) and explore its relationship with telomere shortening. Blood samples from 66 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) in northern China were collected and TERC mutation analysis was performed. Two TERC mutations were identified. The incidence of telomerase gene mutations in Chinese people with acquired AA is similar to that of the western people.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
