Скачать или смотреть GrimAge vs. Telomere length: a better biomarker for aging | Steve Horvath

Telomeres are short, repetitive sequences of DNA located on the ends of chromosomes that serve as indicators of aging. Emerging evidence suggests that telomere length is a poor marker of disease risk and time to death. However, the DNAm GrimAge epigenetic clock is a highly reliable predictor of healthspan and lifespan, based on DNAm surrogates in blood, including biomarkers of aging and alterations in blood composition. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath discusses the strengths and weaknesses of using telomeres versus epigenetic clocks to predict risk of disease and death.
