Influence of DNA extraction methods on relative telomere length measurements and its impact on epidemiological studies

Measurement of telomere length is widely used in epidemiologic studies. Insufficient standardization of the measurements processes has, however, complicated the comparison of results between studies. We aimed to investigate whether DNA extraction methods have an influence on measured values of relat...
