Longer Telomere Length in COPD Patients with α(1)-Antitrypsin Deficiency Independent of Lung Function

Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of airway obstruction in α(1)-antitrypsin deficient patients. This may result in a shortening of telomere length, resulting in cellular senescence. To test whether telomere length differs in α(1)-antitrypsin deficient patients compared with controls,...
