Telomere length as a systemic aging-related susceptibility marker for trigeminal neuralgia: Genetic evidence from mendelian randomization.
ObjectiveTo evaluate whether genetically proxied leukocyte telomere length (TL), a systemic marker of biological aging and cumulative cellular stress, is associated with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) risk.BackgroundTN is a severe craniofacial pain disorder classically attributed to neurovascular compression and focal trige...
