Bidirectional Mendelian randomization supports bidirectional causality between telomere length and clonal hematopoiesis of intermediate potential

2021-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Human genetic studies support an inverse causal relationship between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and coronary artery disease (CAD), but directionally mixed effects for LTL and diverse malignancies. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), characterized by expansion of hematopoietic cells bearing leukemogenic mutations, predisposes both hematologic malignancy and CAD. TERT (which encodes tel...
