摘要：

Telomere length was studied by Southern analysis in five cases of childhood acute leukemia. In four cases, the length of the telomere sequence of the blast phase cells was shortened as compared with that of the cells examined during remission. Study of telomere length during chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies may show rapidly dividing subpopulations of malignant cells and thereby guide further treatment needs. In addition, such loss of telomere sequence would give rise to chromosomal instability and could be one of the mechanisms of oncogene activation in acute leukemia.
