Red Blood Cell Size Is Inversely Associated with Leukocyte Telomere Length in a Large Multi-Ethnic Population
4 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Although mutations in the genes encoding either the protein or RNA component of telomerase have been found in patients with various blood disorders, the impact of telomere length on hematopoiesis is less well understood for subjects from the general population. Here we have measured telomere lengths of genomic DNA isolated from circulating leukocytes of 3157 subjects, ranging from 18 to 85 years of age, enrolled...
