The frequency of CA in circulating lymphocytes of treated patients compared to that of healthy donors. (A) significant difference was observed between the frequency of DC (p < 10−16), CR (p < 10−6), AC(+/+)(p < 10−16), AC(+/−)(p < 10−11), AC(−/−)(p < 10−5) and chr(+/−) (p < 10−16), between treated patients and healthy donors (B) The prevalence of specific configurations of DC and RC in circulating lymphocytes of treated patients. (C) Correlation between telomere deletion of circulating lymphocytes and age of healthy donors and treated patients. The frequency of telomere deletion was not age-dependent in the healthy donors, nor in treated patients. Telomere deletion in lymphocytes of healthy donors is represented by the grey circles and the treated patients by black circles. P and R2 values are represented.
