Telomerase Gene (hTERT) and Survival: Results From Two Swedish Cohorts of Older Adults

Telomere length has been associated with longevity. As telomere length is partly determined by the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), we investigated the association between an hTERT polymorphism located in its promoter region (− 1327T/C) and longevity in two cohorts of older adults. Pa...
