The Relationship between Telomere Length and Mortality in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

25 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

Some have suggested that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of accelerated aging. Aging is characterized by shortening of telomeres. The relationship of telomere length to important clinical outcomes such as mortality, disease progression and cancer in COPD is unknown. Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), we measured telomere length of peripheral leukocytes in 4,271 subjects...
