Longer Telomere Length in COPD Patients with α1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Independent of Lung Function

Longer Telomere Length in COPD Patients with α1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Independent of Lung Function

Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of airway obstruction in α1-antitrypsin deficient patients. This may result in a shortening of telomere length, resulting in cellular senescence. To test whether telomere length differs in α1-antitrypsin deficient patients compared with controls, we m...
