Telomere length testing measures the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes as a marker of cellular ageing and biological age. Shorter telomeres are associated with accelerated cellular ageing and increased risk of age-related conditions in research literature. Results inform personalised longevity and lifestyle programmes at Angel Longevity Medical Center in Studio City, Los Angeles.
About this treatment
Telomere Length Testing at Angel Longevity Medical Center quantifies the length of telomeres — the repetitive nucleotide sequences (TTAGGG) that cap the ends of chromosomes and protect them from degradation during cell division. Each time a cell divides, the telomere shortens slightly because DNA polymerase cannot fully replicate the terminal end of the chromosome; beyond a critical minimum length, cells may enter a state of senescence (permanent growth…
