Genetic Determinants of Telomere Length in African American Youth

2018-04-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Telomere length (TL) is associated with numerous disease states and is affected by genetic and environmental factors. However, TL has been mostly studied in adult populations of European or Asian ancestry. These studies have identified 34 TL-associated genetic variants recently used as genetic proxies for TL. The generalizability of these associations to pediatric populations and racially divers...
