  1. Genetically predicted leucocyte telomere length raises the risk of lung cancer in humans (HRper 1 SD gTL=1.87, 95% CI: 1.49 to 2.36, p=4.0×10−7).

    “Mendelian Randomization analyses supported causal associations between longer telomere length and lung cancer (HRper 1 SD gTL=1.87, 95% CI: 1.49 to 2.36, p=4.0×10−7)”
