Abstract:
Comparability of findings from qPCR-based telomere studies is hampered by such measurement results being assay-specific, precluding a direct quantitative comparisons of observed differences and/or slopes of associations between studies. It is proposed that this can be partially alleviated by expressing qPCR-based telomere data as Z-scores.
