Exome sequencing analysis identifies rare variants in ATM and RPL8 that are associated with shorter telomere length
Telomeres are important for maintaining genomic stability. Telomere length has been associated with aging, disease, and mortality and is highly heritable (∼82%). In this study, we aimed to identify rare genetic variants associated with telomere length using whole-exome sequence data. We studied 1,30...
