Telomere shortening in late‐life depression: A potential marker of depression severity
21 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Telomeres are structures at the extremity of chromosomes that prevents genomic instability, and its shortening seems to be a hallmark of cellular aging. Past studies have shown contradictory results of telomere length (TL) in major depression, and are a few studies in late-life depression (LLD). This explores the association between TL as a molecular marker of aging and diagnosis of LLD, the severity...
