AB  - Telomere length per se a heritable trait has been reported to be associated with different diseases including cancers. In this study based on arsenic exposed 528 cases with basal cell carcinoma of skin (BCC) and 533 healthy controls we investigated effect of telomere length, measured by real-time PCR, on the disease risk. We observed a statistically significant association between decreased telomere length and increased BCC risk (OR = 5.92, 95
