Effect of pre-analytic variables on the reproducibility of qPCR relative telomere length measurement.

Effect of pre-analytic variables on the reproducibility of qPCR relative telomere length measurement.

Telomeres, long nucleotide repeats and a protein complex at chromosome ends, shorten with each cell division and are susceptible to oxidative damage. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a widely-used technique to measure relative telomere length (RTL) in DNA samples but is challenging to optimize and signifi...
