Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Telomere length is a predictor for a number of common age related diseases and is a heritable trait. METHODS AND RESULTS: To identify new loci associated with mean leukocyte telomere length we conducted a genome wide association study of 314,075 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
