Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a heritable biomarker of genomic aging. In this study, we
perform a genome-wide meta-analysis of LTL by pooling densely genotyped and imputed …

Interindividual variation in mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with cancer
and several age-associated diseases. We report here a genome-wide meta-analysis of …

Genetic factors underlying leukocyte telomere length (LTL) may provide insights into
telomere homeostasis, with direct links to disease susceptibility. Genetic evaluation of …

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with a number of common age-related
diseases and is a heritable trait. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) …

Genetic studies on telomere length are important for understanding age-related diseases.
Prior GWASs for leukocyte TL have been limited to European and Asian populations. Here …

Leukocyte telomere length is believed to measure cellular aging in humans, and short
leukocyte telomere length is associated with increased risks of late onset diseases …

Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) has been reported to be linked to ageing, cancer and
cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to explore the association between LTL …

Inherited genetic variation influencing leukocyte telomere length provides a natural
experiment for testing associations with health outcomes, more robust to confounding and …

Telomeres, the end fragments of chromosomes, play key roles in cellular proliferation and
senescence. Here we characterize the genetic architecture of naturally occurring variation in …

Mean telomere length (TL) in blood cells is heritable and has been reported to be
associated with risks of several diseases, including cancer. We conducted a meta-analysis …
