Social disadvantage, genetic sensitivity, and children's telomere length
Open accessAbstract
Significance: This paper makes two contributions to research on the link between the social environment and health. Using data from a birth cohort study, we show that, among African American boys, those who grow up in highly disadvantaged environments have shorter telomeres (at age 9) than boys who grow up in highly advantaged environments. We also find that the association between the social environment and telomere length (TL) is moderated by genetic variation within the serotonin and dopamine pathways. Boys with the highest genetic sensitivity scores had the shortest TL when exposed to disadvantaged environments and the longest TL when exposed to advantaged environments. To our knowledge, this report is the first to document a gene–social environment interaction for TL, a biomarker of stress exposure.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In 40 nine-year-old African American boys from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, exposure to disadvantaged social environments was associated with shorter telomere length (TL), and this association was moderated by genetic variants in serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways. Boys with the highest genetic sensitivity scores had the shortest TL in disadvantaged environments and the longest TL in advantaged environments, consistent with differential susceptibility.
Key findings
- Living in a disadvantaged environment was associated with 19% shorter TL (P = 0.02).
- A doubling of the family income/needs ratio was associated with a 5% increase in TL (P = 0.03); compared with mothers with less than high school education, having a mother with a high school degree was associated with a 32% increase in TL (P = 0.006), and at least some postsecondary education was associated with a 35% increase (P = 0.005). Multiple family structure changes were associated with a 40% decline in TL (P = 0.010), and a low parenting quality score was associated with a 3% decrease.
- Serotonin sensitivity score interactions with the social environment were significant (M1: b = −0.22, P = 0.016; M2: b = −0.21, P = 0.049); dopamine interactions were less definitive (M3: b = −0.18, P = 0.098; M4: b = −0.07, P = 0.18).
- Saliva and blood leukocyte TL were highly correlated (R = 0.72, P = 0.002), although saliva TL was greater than blood leukocyte TL [6.5 kb ± 1.8 SD vs. 4.2 kb ± 1.2 SD, P < 0.001].
Methods
- Data came from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study; the analysis used 40 African American boys at age 9, selected from extreme environments: 20 from highly disadvantaged homes with maternal depression and 20 from advantaged homes without maternal depression.
- TL was measured from saliva DNA using a quantitative real-time PCR assay for absolute TL in kilobases per chromosome; environmental measures included economic conditions, parenting quality, family structure/stability, and maternal depression across five waves.
- Main analysis used robust ordinary least squares regression with Cook’s D and Huber weighting, plus gene-environment interaction models using serotonin and dopamine pathway genetic sensitivity scores.
Limitations
- The paper states that due to sample size limitations, it could not examine the independent effect of each environmental measure; pairwise tests showed SES measures were the strongest predictors of TL, while other coefficients declined dramatically when poverty ratio and mother’s education were included.
- Evident from the text: the sample is small (n = 40), restricted to African American boys, and selected for extreme environments, limiting power and generalizability.
- Evident from the text: TL was measured only at age 9, so the design cannot establish within-child changes in TL or causal direction, and the genetic sensitivity scores combine multiple variants with limited prior guidance on coding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
