Abstract
⺠OBFC1 and TERC are genes associated with leukocyte telomere length (LTL). ⺠Polymorphisms in OBFC1 were significantly associated with CVD mortality. ⺠The association between polymorphisms in OBFC1 and CVD mortality varied by sex. ⺠Telomere biology may impact the risk of CVD death, particularly among women.
