Determination of the Biological Age
Utilizing DNA-methylation changes for determining the biological age of a human individual.
Epigenetic-Aging-Signature
Suitable for: Forensic Analysis, Geriatric assessment, Lifestyle Management
Cost effective and simple
Precise: Less than five years deviation
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.
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.
