Telomere length, endothelial activation and carotid atherosclerosis in black and white African patients with rheumatoid arthritis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to examine associations of traditional and non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors with relative leukocyte telomere length and confounder adjusted relationships of relative telomere length with endothelial activation and carotid atherosclerosis in black and white African patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
METHODS: Relative telomere length of leukocyte DNA in whole blood was determined using ...
