Contribution of leukocyte telomere length to major cardiovascular diseases onset: phenotypic and genetic insights from a large-scale genome-wide cross-trait analysis
2024-09-25
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Telomere shortening, a marker of cellular aging and genomic instability, has been epidemiologically linked to an increased risk of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, shared genetic determinants involved in these associations remain unclear. We composed an atlas of the shared genetic associations between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and six major CVDs by investigating sh...
