Sex difference in leukocyte telomere length is ablated in opposite-sex co-twins

23 Jul 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In eutherian mammals and in humans, the female fetus may be masculinized while sharing the intra-uterine environment with a male fetus. Telomere length (TL), as expressed in leukocytes, is heritable and is longer in women than in men. The main determinant of leukocyte TL (LTL) is LTL at birth. However, LTL is modified by age-dependent attrition. METHODS: We studied LTL dynamics (LTL and its attrition)...
