Genetic determinants of telomere length and cancer risk.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Feb 2020

Nelson Christopher P, Codd Veryan

Abstract excerpt

The relationship of telomere length with cancer risk has been the source of much debate within epidemiological studies, which have produced inconsistent finding both between and within different cancer types. Over recent years, genome-wide association studies of increasing size have identified variants that determine human telomere length. These variants have subsequently been utilised as instrumental variables...
