Alcohol consumption and telomere length: observational and Mendelian randomization approaches

2021-09-21

Abstract excerpt

Alcohol’s impact on telomere length, a proposed marker of biological age, is unclear. We performed the largest observational study to date and compared findings with Mendelian randomization (MR) estimates. Two-sample MR used data from a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) of telomere length. Genetic variants were selected on the basis of associations with alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorder (AUD)....
