Validation of Minimally-Invasive Sample Collection Methods for Measurement of Telomere Length

6 Dec 2017

Abstract excerpt

Objective: The discovery of telomere length as a biomarker of cellular aging and correlate of age-related disease has generated a new field of research in the biology of healthy aging. Although the most common method of sample collection for telomere length is venous blood draw, less-invasive DNA collection methods are becoming more widely used. However, how telomere length relates across tissues derived from...
