Relative telomere length associations with SNPs at loci identified by published GWAS.

*β estimates and P values derived from linear regression adjusted for age at blood collection, gender, an age-gender interaction term, smoking status, pack-year categories of smoking, disease status, and principal components of genetic variation.†β estimates and P values derived from linear regression adjusted for age at blood collection, smoking status, pack-year categories of smoking, disease status, and principal components of genetic variation; N/A = SNP could not be imputed.‡Combined effect sizes and P values are calculated using a fixed-effect meta-analysis. Estimates in bold are based upon meta-analysis of the current study populations along with those published by Codd et al. and Levy et al. Study-specific values from the published studies were used where available.
