Abstract excerpt
Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified genetic susceptibility variants for both leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and lung cancer susceptibility. Our study aims to explore the shared genetic basis between these traits and investigate their impact on somatic environment of lung tumours. Methods: We performed genetic correlation, Mendelian randomisation (MR), and colocalisation analyses...
