Gene Variant Associated with Telomere Length a Target for Life Extension Treatment
Nature Genetics – Common variants near TERC are associated with mean telomere length We conducted genome-wide association analyses of mean leukocyte telomere length in 2,917 individuals, with follow-up replication in 9,492 individuals. We identified an association with telomere length on 3q26 (rs12696304, combined P = 3.72 × 10−14) at a locus that includes TERC, which …
