Abstract

A relationship between telomere shortening and ageing has been established. A series of young and elderly healthy donors, Alzheimer disease patients, young and old Down's syndrome individuals were cytogenetically analyzed. No preferential damage in distal bands was seen in age-related chromosome instability.
