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 …

Background Telomere length is an important indicator of tumor progression and survival for
cancer patients. Previous work investigated the associations between genetically predicted …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background: Telomeres protect chromosomal ends, shorten with cellular division, and signal
cellular senescence, but unchecked telomere attrition can lead to telomere dysfunction …

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 …

Telomeres, the repetitive sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes, help to maintain
genomic integrity and are of key importance to human health. The aim here is to give an …

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a predictor of aging and a number of age-related
diseases. We performed genome-wide association studies of mean LTL in 2632 individuals …
