TELOMERE LENGTH TEST
This test measures the average telomere length in lymphocytes. Telomeres are segments of DNA found at the ends of chromosomes; they protect the genetic data contained in DNA and act as a buffer during cell replication. Telomere lengths is determined by comparing the number of nucleotide (building blocks of DNA and RNA) repeats of the telomeres against a stable reference gene. Telomeres become shortened over time as a cell divides and replicates. They can be prematurely shortened due to oxidation, inflammation, and stress. These conditions reduce the protective effect of telomeres, damage DNA, and contribute to early cell death.
