Genetic and Environmental Effects on Telomere Length and Lung Function: A Twin Study

The purpose of the study was to estimate the heritability of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and lung function and to examine whether LTL and lung function share genetic or environmental effects in common. 386 monozygotic and dizygotic Finnish twin sisters (age 68.4±3.4 years) were included.
