Telomere length and genomic aberrations detected by FISH. (A) Telomere length in relation to number of genomic aberrations. (B) Distribution of patients with long and short telomeres in relation to number of genomic aberrations. (C) Telomere length in relation to number of genomic aberrations after exclusion of 13q− patients. (D) Distribution of patients with long and short telomeres in relation to number of genomic aberrations after exclusion of 13q− patients. The boxes shown in panels A and C present medium value and interquartile range, and the whiskers minimum and maximal values, except for outliers.
