But not all telomere tests are created equal as some disparity exists between labs. Measuring small amounts of DNA in a telomere takes some skill so it is imperative to use a lab that is experienced in telomere testing. SpectraCell was the first lab to commercialize telomere testing in the United States, back in 2010. With over a decade of samples, our reference population is well over 15,000 pa...

A recently published medical paper suggests the answer may be YES. A team of scientists from Rutgers University reviewed the disease progression of COVID-19 and created an interesting hypothesis – that telomeres, particularly short telomere length, may be a potential biomarker that identifies patients most likely to have a bad prognosis from COVID-19. The theory was published this summer in the FASEB Journal (stands for Federation of American Societies for Experimental...
