Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Conventional observational studies have suggested that 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is inversely associated with telomere shortening. We aimed to apply two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the causal association between serum 25(OH) D and telomere length (TL). METHODS: MR was implemented by using summary-level data from the largest genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on vitamin D...
