Replicative history of naive T cells. Significantly lower TRECs per 1,000 CD8 + CD45RA+ T cells (a) and shorter relative telomere lengths (RTLs) (b) were found in YATEC patients compared to YHC. Bars represent mean percentages ± standard deviation, numbers (n) of investigated individuals for each group. No statistical analysis was performed with YAT, as only 2 of them had detectable TRECs and RTLs. Higher proportions of CD103-expressing lymphocytes in CD8 + CD103+ T cells were seen in YATEC patients compared to YHC (c). A p ≤ 0.05 indicates statistical significance (Mann–Whitney U test)
