TERT and progressive pseudorheumatoid arthropathy of childhood: Lastly, ACE, but not the TERT/TERC genotype, moderated the TL-trajectory association; with increasing ACE, individuals with persistent PPD symptoms had shorter TL, whereas the opposite pattern (longer TL) was observed in the controls.<h4>Conclusions</h4>The findings contribute to further understanding of PPD underpinnings, suggesting a negative relationship with TL.
