Variation in telomere length (TL) is associated with human disease and aging. In our new preprint, we identify novel genetic determinants of TL using whole-genome sequence data from ~500K @uk_biobank participants medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🛑PLEASE HELP PLEASE SHARE🛑 Scott doesn’t receive as many shares as other missing dogs. One share from the right person may mean Scott gets to come home to his family for Christmas❤️@rickygervais @PaulOGradys @radioleary @eltonofficial @reallorraine @davidwalliams @hollywills
A substantial reward for his return to his family who love him very much. Scott is a rescue dog with health issues and cannot be used for breeding or working purposes. Call now in confidence with any info no matter how small. Talk to us message us we are waiting ☎️ 07749058602

Does "telomere length" provide a "well-behaved GWAS"? Well yes it does. There are 163 "closest genes" and these are heavily enriched for known telomere biology. Top hit in GO cellular compartment, GO molecular function, REACTOME and 2nd hit in GO biological process
Great fun collaborating with @Chris_P_Nelson @VeryanCodd @Linda_Wang_LEI and others at @CAMBRIDGE_CEU / @uniofleicester over the last year on these @uk_biobank telomere length data - look out for several more papers/preprints over the coming months.
