Mean telomere length and risk of incident venous thromboembolism: a prospective, nested case-control approach.

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry - 1 Aug 2009

Zee Robert Y L, Michaud Sherri E, Ridker Paul M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown telomere-length shortening as a risk predictor for cardiovascular disease. However, to date, no prospective data are available on its potential involvement in venous thromboembolism (VTE). METHODS: Using leukocyte DNA samples collected at baseline in a prospective cohort of 14,916 initially healthy American men, we examined the relationship of mean telomere repeat copy number...
