Telomere Length and Physical Performance at Older Ages: An Individual Participant Meta-Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background Telomeres are involved in cellular ageing and shorten with increasing age. If telomere length is a valuable biomarker of ageing, then telomere shortening should be associated with worse physical performance, an ageing trait, but evidence ...

Genetic regulation of newborn telomere length is mediated and modified by DNA methylation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Telomere length at birth determines later life telomere length and potentially predicts ageing-related diseases. However, the genetic and epigenetic settings of telomere length in newborns have not been analyzed.

Effect of telomere length on telomeric gene expression [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1996
Telomeres gradually shorten as human somatic cells divide and a correlation has been observed between the average telomere length and cell senescence. It has been proposed that the genes responsible for cell senescence are located near the telomere and are activated when telomere length reaches a critical point.

Circulating leukocyte telomere length is highly heritable among families of Arab descent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Telomere length, an indicator of ageing and longevity, has been correlated with several biomarkers of cardiometabolic disease in both Arab children and adults.

Telomere length trajectory and its determinants in persons with coronary artery disease: longitudinal findings from the heart and soul study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Leukocyte telomere length, an emerging marker of biological age, has been shown to predict cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the natural history of telomere length in patients with coronary artery disease has not been studied. We sought to

Measuring telomere length and telomere dynamics in evolutionary biology and ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Telomeres play a fundamental role in the protection of chromosomal DNA and in the regulation of cellular senescence. Recent work in human epidemiology and evolutionary ecology suggests adult telomere length (TL) may reflect past physiological stress and ...

Telomere lengths in human oocytes, cleavage stage embryos and blastocysts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Telomeres are repeated sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes and harbour DNA-repair proteins. Telomeres shorten during each cell division in the absence of telomerase.

The FANCM-BLM-TOP3A-RMI complex suppresses alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT)

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
ALT telomeres experience DNA damage that may drive recombination-based telomere elongation. Here, the authors reveal that FANCM plays a critical role in the suppression of ALT activity through its interaction with the BTR (BLM-TOP3A-RMI) complex.

Longer telomere length in peripheral white blood cells is associated with risk of lung cancer and the rs2736100 (CLPTM1L-TERT) polymorphism in a prospective cohort study among women in China. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A recent genome-wide association study of lung cancer among never-smoking females in Asia demonstrated that the rs2736100 polymorphism in the TERT-CLPTM1L locus on chromosome 5p15.33 was strongly and significantly associated with risk of adenocarcinoma ...
