Figure 1. Comparison of Q-PCR blood, fibroblast and buccal cell DNA telomere length (TL) in DC patients, and patients with other IBMFS combined. Q-PCR TL (on the Y axis) is measured as a ratio of telomere copy number (T) to single copy gene (S) (T/S); p-values represent the global difference in tissues TL and obtained from Friedman test. Abbreviations: IBMFS, inherited bone marrow failure syndromes.
