BALTIMORE, Maryland, May 14 (TNSres) -- Johns Hopkins Medicine issued the following news release:
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have found that specific variations in three genes related to maintaining the length of telomeres -- the protective DNA endcaps on chromosomes -- may explain up to 4.5% of papillary thyroid cancers. Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common form of thyroid cancer.
The findings, published online April 29 in The American Journal o . . .
