Response to: Reliability and validity of telomere length measurements

1 Aug 2016

Abstract excerpt

In his letter1 on our recent commentary,2 Dan Eisenberg argues that Southern blot (SB) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based methods have similar reliability of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) measurement, a suggestion that runs counter to the literature going back more than a decade. This literature shows that the SB-based method better captures associations of LTL with a host of variables than...
