MNS16A VNTR polymorphism of human telomerase gene: Elucidation of a gender specific potential allele associated with type 2 diabetes in Bangladeshi population.

Journal of diabetes and its complications - 1 Oct 2021

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disorder that affects multi-organ and can alter telomerase (encoded by hTERT gene) activity and thus, may affect telomere length. The variable number of tandem repeats MNS16A in hTERT gene facilitates extension of telomeres by regulating telomerase. In the present study, genetic analysis of MNS16A tandem repeats in hTERT gene was performed with the aim of...
