Long telomeres and cancer risk among 95 568 individuals from the general population.

International journal of epidemiology - 1 Oct 2016

Rode Line, Nordestgaard Børge G, Bojesen Stig E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Results regarding telomere length and cancer risk are conflicting. We tested the hypothesis that long telomeres are associated with increased risk of any cancer and specific cancer types in genetic and observational analyses. METHODS: Individuals (N = 95 568) from the Copenhagen City Heart Study and the Copenhagen General Population Study had the telomere length-associated genotypes rs7726159 (TERT),...
