Telomeres have random GT-rich repeats such as TTGGGG in tetrahymena and TTAGGG in human beings. G-quadruplex (guanine-rich region).

@Lebogang: Telomeres are made up with the nucleotides TTAGGG. There are many groups of TTAGGG that make up the nucleotide, and GGG, or guanine guanine guanine, shows up the most.
