Do telomeres have a higher plasticity than thought? Results from the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) study as a high-risk population
文摘

Relative telomere length (RTL) is considered as a biological marker for aging.

We investigated RTL in 4802 patients from the German Chronic Kidney Disease study.

We observed a U-shaped association of RTL with chronic kidney disease duration.

RTL was longer in patients with short and long versus intermediate disease duration.

Our data support a higher plasticity of RTL as until recently anticipated.
