Scientists have devised a method of lengthening telomeres, allowing cells to divide more times before dying (Image: AJC1 via Flickr - CC BY-SA 2.0) View gallery - 2 images. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a new procedure to increase the length of human telomeres.
The studies identified an association between telomere length and a gene variant called rs12696304 on the chromosome 3q26. The researchers say that possessing the variant is associated with a person having a shorter average telomere length that equates to about 3.6 years of age-related telomere shortening.he telomeres found at the ends of chromosomes shorten with age. Genetic tests to determine how quickly a person will age may soon be available, according to several newspapers. The news is based on the recent discovery of a genetic variation that apparently predisposes some people to faster ageing.
