Telomere loss corrected for age (Δtel) in telomerase heterozygous individuals and unaffected relatives.

Summary of telomere loss adjusted for age (Δtel) in telomerase heterozygous individuals considered as a group (Tel), considered as TERT or TERC heterozygous individuals separately, and unaffected relatives of telomerase heterozygous individuals considered as a group (Tel), or separating parents or siblings.§Difference between the median telomere length and the regression estimate of the telomere length distribution in healthy individuals of the same age (Δtel).Tel: hTERC or hTERT gene.
