We investigated whether six genetic variants previously associated with LTL (TERC (rs10936599), TERT (rs2736100), NAF1 (7675998), OBFC1 (rs9420907), ZNF208 (rs8105767), and RTEL1 (rs755017)) are correlated with telomere length (TL) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in a cohort of Africans living with and without HIV and undergoing evaluation for tuberculosis (TB).
In the present study, we aimed to explore the impact of the ZNF208 gene polymorphism on telomere length and also that of telomere length on COPD in the Hainan Li population.
We performed the present case-control study to clarify the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within ZNF208 and the risk of ischemic stroke in a southern Chinese Han population.
We also found that three SNPS in ZNF208 associated with CAD, respectively, rs2188971, rs8103163 and rs7248488.Linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype analyses of the SNPs found that the CTA haplotype (rs1056675, rs1056654, rs11859599) and rs2188972A/rs2188971T/rs8103163A/rs7248488A (ATAA) were associated with CAD.
