Oh, I thought telomere testing was standard, is that not the case? They tested my sons in 2011. At that time a lab Canada was the only place that tested them, I had to pay out of pocket for the test and then get reimbursed (out of network) from my insurance.
I have a Google alert set for any news on telomeres, I haven't seen this article yet so thanks for the heads up. I have my alert set for weekly notices though, so hopefully the alert works in the next few days.
