The association of telomere length with paternal history of premature myocardial infarction in the European Atherosclerosis Research Study II
14 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Inter-individual variability in telomere length is highly heritable and has been correlated with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Our aim was to determine the association of mean leukocyte telomere length with paternal history of premature myocardial infarction (MI). Mean leukocyte telomere length was measured with real-time polymerase chain reactions in 369 male students (18-28 years) with a paternal...
