Novel Luminex Assay for Telomere Repeat Mass Does Not Show Well Position Effects Like qPCR.

Telomere length is a potential biomarker of aging and risk for age-related diseases. For measurement of relative telomere repeat mass (TRM), qPCR is typically used primarily due to its low cost and low DNA input. But the position of the sample on a plate often impacts the qPCR-based TRM measurement....
