Figure 4From: Genomic amplification of the human telomerase gene (hTERC) associated with human papillomavirus is related to the progression of uterine cervical dysplasia to invasive cancerQuantification of telomerase activity in different biopsy groups. The vertical axis represents the log10 [TPG] levels for telomerase activity in the samples. Telomerase activity showed no difference neither in CIN1 to NNL groups (P=0.153), nor in CIN2 to CIN1 groups (p=0.619). CIN3 exhibited high levels of telomerase activity compared with CIN2 group (P=0.000). Samples with CA expressed higher levels of telomerase activity than with CIN3 (P=0.006).Back to article page
