Text

Sentinel genetic variants associated with telomere length were those described by Codd et al22. Telomere lengths in 6,766 individuals from the UK Studies of Epidemiology and Risk Factors in Cancer Heredity (SEARCH) study controls using a real-time PCR methodology and genotyping as described in Pooley et al., 201337.
