Abstract excerpt
The underlying mechanisms of plasma metabolite signatures of human aging and age-related diseases are not clear but telomere attrition and dysfunction are central to both. Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is associated with mutations in the telomerase enzyme complex (TERT, TERC, and DKC1) and progressive telomere attrition. We analyzed the effect of telomere attrition on senescence-associated metabolites in...
