Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Leukocyte telomere length, a putative marker of ageing, is a highly variable and heritable complex trait. In order to determine the possible underlying genetic variants for leukocyte telomere length variation, we conducted an association study of leukocyte telomere length and two candidate genes for ageing-related traits, TGFB1 and KLOTHO, in a female Caucasian dizygotic twin population. METHODS AND...
