Telomeres

Call us if you want to test your telomere length.   We have a few kits available for the test which is currently considered the best available.  The test is run in Europe at Marie Blasco's lab and will identify the relative amounts of short and longer telomeres.  Other tests available will only report an average telomere length.  This is important because the short telomeres will be those of most concern.  Getting an average number can hide some of the information.  Ask for Carol to give you more details.
