Telomeres are an objective indicator of biological age. They play a crucial role in cellular ageing and are regarded as one of the key factors affecting human longevity. Their importance in health and longevity has also been recognized at the Nobel Prize level.
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes. They act like protective caps, preventing loss of genetic information and helping maintain chromosome stability during replication. However, because telomeres cannot be fully replicated, they naturally shorten with each cell division. This shortening is a normal part of the ageing process.

By analyzing telomere length and comparing it with people of the same age, the test provides your biological age and rate of ageing.
Provides dietary guidance that may help slow ageing.
Ageing speed refers to the difference between biological age and chronological age. If the tested person’s biological age is close to their actual age, the ageing speed is considered normal. If the biological age is lower than the actual age, the ageing speed is considered too fast.

It helps you understand the risk of inherited genes that may cause certain diseases in your baby.
If neither you nor your partner is a carrier, your child is very unlikely to inherit the disease.
If one partner is a carrier but the other is not, your baby is very unlikely to inherit the disease.
If both you and your partner are carriers, your child has a 25% chance of inheriting the disease.
Although hereditary genetic testing can help you understand your health history and your chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby, it is not absolute.

According to Hospital Authority Cancer Registry data, Hong Kong recorded over 35,000 new cancer cases in 2019, with an average of 96 confirmed cases per day.
BRCA genes are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk. BRCA1/2 mutations substantially increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
