Determinants of chromosome-specific telomere lengths among 2,573 All of Us participants
2025-08-18
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Telomeres are DNA-protein structures that protect chromosome ends. The DNA component of telomeres shortens as cells divide, and telomere length (TL) is a key biomarker of aging and disease risk. Most previous studies in humans of TL have analyzed average TL; thus, our knowledge of TL variability across chromosome arms remains limited. The availability of long-read whole-genome sequencin...
