Methods The DNA was extracted from the peripheral white blood cells of 11 patients with OSAS and 10 normal subjects matched for age and gender, and the T/S ratio was measured by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results The T/S ratio in the peripheral white blood cells of patients with OSAS was obviously lower than that of the normal subjects (P0.05). Conclusion The reduction in the telomere length in the peripheral blood cells suggests a possible relationship between OSAS pathogenesis and telomere length, and hypoxemia and hypercapnia make accelerate telomere shortening and promote cell apoptosis.
