Genetically predicted telomere length and its relationship with neurodegenerative diseases and life expectancy
1 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Telomere length (TL) is a biomarker of biological aging. Shorter telomeres have been associated with mortality and increased rates of age-related diseases. However, observational studies are unable to conclude whether TL is causally associated with those outcomes. Mendelian randomization (MR) was developed for assessing causality using genetic variants in epidemiological research. The objective of this study was...
