Abstract:Context:
DNA methylation (DNAm) age can be used to evaluate the chronological age of individuals often called “epigenetic age.” In this study, buccal scrape samples were used for the determination of epigenetic age.
Aims:
To examine if epigenetic age could be determined using neuronal pentraxin 2 (NPTX2) gene in buccal cells.
Setting and Design:
This cohort study was designed to validate the use of buccal cells for epigenetic age estimation. … Show more
