Cardiovascular-Derived Circulating Cell-Free DNA Fragments Are Associated With Frailty and Increased Cardiovascular Events in Older Adults
15 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Increased cellular damage in aging tissues releases circulating cell-free genomic DNA (ccf-gDNA) into the bloodstream, and these fragments are associated with a higher risk of frailty and dementia. We hypothesized that identifying the tissue of origin for ccf-gDNA using methylation signatures can distinguish subgroups of participants with distinct clinical outcomes, biological aging rates, and energy use. Serum...
