Telomere length tracking in children and their parents: implications for adult onset diseases
25 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Adults with comparatively short or long leukocyte telomere length (LTL) typically continue to display comparatively short or long LTL throughout life. This LTL tracking stems from the inability of person‐to‐person variation in age‐dependent LTL shortening during adulthood to offset the wide interindividual LTL variation established prior to adult life. However, LTL tracking in children is unstudied. This study...
