In humans, leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is positively correlated with lifespan and shorter
LTL is associated with increased risk of age-related disease. In this study we tested for …

Emerging evidence suggests that epigenetics regulates telomere dynamics in adults.
However, the relationship between these pathways in children and youth remains unknown …

Telomere length is associated with age-related diseases and is highly heritable. It is unclear,
however, to what extent epigenetic modifications are associated with leukocyte telomere …

Both leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and DNA methylation age are strongly associated with
chronological age. One measure of DNA methylation age-the extrinsic epigenetic age …

The frequency of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood predicts a probable cancer
risk. The individual telomere length and methylation of repetitive elements may be …

Telomere length (TL) and DNA methylation–based epigenetic clocks are markers of
biological age, but the relationship between the two is not fully understood. Here, we used …

Background Telomere length is indicative of biological age. Shorter telomeres have been
associated with several disease and health states. There are inconsistencies throughout the …

Telomeres are the DNA–protein complexes that protect the ends of eukaryotic
chromosomes. The cellular enzyme telomerase counteracts telomere shortening by adding …

Telomeres, the protective DNA‐protein complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes, are
important for genome stability. Leukocyte or peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) …

Age-associated telomere shortening is a well documented feature of peripheral blood cells
in human population studies, but it is not known to what extent these data can be transferred …
