Would anyone here order a “biological age” biomarker?

Zymo Research Corp., also known as 'The Epigenetics Company', announced today the release of a new service that can quantify biological aging in a precise manner using the myDNAge test. Based on Horvath's Clock, so named for Dr. Steve Horvath, a professor of human genetics and biostatistics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and Fielding School of Public Health, Zymo Research's proprietary DNAge technology is used to analyze DNA methylation patterns of over 500 loci.

The new test will be sold to consumers via a newly formed company, Epimorphy, LLC, an associated company of Zymo Research, created to provide epigenetic-based tests to the consumer marketplace. The detailed data report that the consumer will receive compares the customer's biological age to their chronological age, which could provide insight on how lifestyle and disease may have influenced their aging process, and could also be used to develop new anti-aging therapies.
