Estimation of Human Age According to Telomere Shortening in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes of Tibetan
20 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
In most normal somatic cells, the terminal restriction fragments (TRF) length and age are inversely correlated, which can be used to determine individual age. However, very little is known about the quantitative relationship between human telomeres and age. The aim of the present study was to investigate age-, gender-, and ethnicity-related changes in telomere length in human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs)....
