Telomere Length Shortening in Alzheimer's Disease: Procedures for a Causal Investigation Using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a Mendelian Randomization Study.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2018

Zhan Yiqiang, Hägg Sara

Abstract excerpt

Measuring the length of telomeres, repetitive nucleotide sequences capping the chromosomes which shortens by each cell division, has become a popular way of attaining a marker of biological aging processes. Several observational studies have investigated the associations between telomere length and Alzheimer's disease (AD) with the overall conclusion being shorter telomeres provide an increased risk for AD...
