Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are protective cap on the ends of DNA of non-coding tandem repeats of TTAGGG. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is a catalytic subunit of telomerase that maintains the structure of telomeres. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects multi-organ and telomere length by altering telomerase activity. We aimed to evaluate the relative telomere length (RTL) and risk association of rs2853669 with T2D in...
