Offspring's Leukocyte Telomere Length, Paternal Age, and Telomere Elongation in Sperm

Offspring's Leukocyte Telomere Length, Paternal Age, and Telomere Elongation in Sperm

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a complex genetic trait. It shortens with age and is associated with a host of aging-related disorders. Recent studies have observed that offspring of older fathers have longer LTLs. We explored the relation between paternal age and offspring's LTLs in 4 diffe...
