Abstract excerpt

The FTO gene plays an important role in the determination of body weight and BMI and it has been suspected of being associated with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer and end stage renal disease, but the causal mechanism of these effects is still unknown. One of the possibilities is the potential association with telomere length. Telomeres are repetitive DNA-sequences located at the ends of...
