Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To compare leukocyte telomere length (LTL; T/S ratio) and hTERT-MNS16A VNTR polymorphism between patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and healthy controls, and to examine their associations with clinical features in BD. METHODS: A total of 179 participants (100 BD patients, 79 healthy controls) were enrolled. Relative LTL was assessed by qPCR-based T/S ratio; hTERT-MNS16A VNTR genotyping by PCR and gel...
