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/…

Telomeres form protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, and their attrition is a marker of biological aging. Short telomeres are associated with an increased risk of neurological and psychiatric...

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.
