Telomere length and aging‐related outcomes in humans: A Mendelian randomization study in 261,000 older participants

24 Aug 2019

Abstract excerpt

Inherited genetic variation influencing leukocyte telomere length provides a natural experiment for testing associations with health outcomes, more robust to confounding and reverse causation than observational studies. We tested associations between genetically determined telomere length and aging-related health outcomes in a large European ancestry older cohort. Data were from n = 379,758 UK Biobank...
