Association between telomere length and risk of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases: A Mendelian randomization study.
- Abstract:
-
Importance
The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding and reverse causation.
Objective
To conduct a Mendelian randomization study, using germline genetic variants as instrumental variables, to appraise the causal relevance of telomere length for risk of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases.
