Funded Activity Summary

All cancers and premature aging syndromes such as dyskeratosis congenita (DC) are underpinned by defects in the functioning of telomeres. Telomeres are structures that protect the ends of human chromosomes from degradation. This project aims to determine if telomere function in these diseases is influenced by cohesion between DNA strands during cellular replication. The results may provide insights into factors controlling telomere function in DC and cancer cells.
