Leukocyte Telomere Length in Newborns: Implications for the Role of Telomeres in Human Disease

11 Mar 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In adults, leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is variable, familial, and longer in women and in offspring conceived by older fathers. Although short LTL is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, long LTL is associated with major cancers. The prevailing notion is that LTL is a "telomeric clock," whose movement (expressed in LTL attrition) reflects the pace of aging....
