TruDiagnostic launched SYMPHONYAge, a new epigenetic ageing test analysing the ageing of 11 individual organ systems.
Epigenetic ageing is the study of changes in gene activity that occur as we age.
The test uses algorithms developed by scientists at Yale University and published in the bioRxiv preprint server.
SYMPHONYAge analyses 133 biomarkers and 125,000 methylation sites to measure the biological age and predict disease risks of different organs.
The test has been validated on over 5,000 samples and has shown to be superior to existing biological age assessments.
The results of the test can be used to identify distinct ageing subtypes linked to specific health risks.
