Mritunjay Kumar Singh ^[3] | Taruna Gupta

Abstract: Telomere length in human is emerging as a biomarker of ageing because its shortening is associated with age-related disease. In this review we summarize our current knowledge on the role of telomeres shortening in humans by comparative analysis of TL by using blood samples of different person with different age groups, smokers and non-smokers & sports and non-sports of same ages with the help of different techniques conventional PCR and RT-PCR.
