Determination of the Biological Age

Summary

Utilizing DNA-methylation changes for determining the biological age of a human individual.

Technology Benefits

Epigenetic-Aging-Signature
Suitable for: Forensic Analysis, Geriatric assessment, Lifestyle Management
Cost effective and simple
Precise: Less than five years deviation

Technology Application

This novel assay may be useful for forensic analysis. It could also be used for geriatric assessment to tailor therapeutic treatments of older patients. It may also help in lifestyle management to improve the odds of staying healthy.

Detailed Technology Description

Based on the analysis of DNA-methylation (DNAm) profiles an Epigenetic-Aging-Signature has been evolved which only requires measurement of DNAm levels at six specific CpG sites. The DNAm can be assessed by locus specific pyro-sequencing analysis of bisulfate-converted DNA.
