Leucocyte Telomere Length and Glucose Tolerance Status in Mixed-Ancestry South Africans
Telomeres are DNA-tandem repeats situated at the ends of chromosomes and are responsible for genome stabilization. They are eroded by increased cell division, age and oxidative stress with shortened leucocyte telomeres (LTL) being associated with inflammatory disorders, including Type II diabetes. W...
