Abstract:Background: Telomeres are considered to be a physiological marker of aging. Elucidating relationship between telomere length and sepsis is an essential step towards understanding the biological processes involved in sepsis and its salvation. Mendelian randomization studies based on SNPs have given us new insights into genetic susceptibility to disease.
Objectives: To explore the causal pathway from telomere length to occurrence and 28-day mortality of sepsis.
Methods: Leveraging genetic i… Show more
