Genetically predicted telomere length and the risk of 11 hematological diseases: a Mendelian randomization study

CONCLUSIONS: The MR analysis revealed a positive association between genetically predicted longer TL and an increased risk of developing ALL, AML, CLL, MANTLE, and HODGKIN. This study further supports the notion that cells with longer TL have greater proliferative and mutational potential, leading to an increased risk of certain HDs.PMID:38393686 | DOI:10.18632/aging.205583
