Interactions between UCP2 SNPs and telomere length exist in the absence of diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Scientific reports - 12 Sept 2016

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) can affect oxidative stress levels. UCP2 polymorphisms are associated with leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in Type 2 Diabetes, which also induces considerable background oxidative stress. The effects of UCP2 polymorphisms on LTL in populations without diabetes have not been well described. Our aims are to evaluate the interaction between LTL and UCP2 polymorphisms in 950...
