What Is the Longevity-Aging Pathway in Genetic Testing?
The Longevity-Aging pathway in the Precision Peptide Genetic Test delivers 17 insights organized across five functional clusters — antioxidant defense, NAD+ homeostasis, methylation, longevity transcription factors, and structural aging biology. Part of 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights, these 17 variants map biological aging as a connected system, not a list of isolated risk genes.
Telomeres and TERT: What Genetic Testing Reveals About Cellular Aging
Telomeres are the protective chromosome caps that shorten with each cell division. TERT encodes telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds them. The variant rs2736100 influences baseline telomerase activity and lifetime telomere attrition rate. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes TERT as part of 17 Longevity & Aging insights spanning 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights.
The Complete Guide to Genetic Longevity Testing: 17 Pathway Insights
The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes 17 longevity and aging genetic insights — FOXO3, SOD2, APOE, SIRT1, and TERT among them — within a panel of 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights. This pillar guide breaks down each longevity gene, what it signals about healthspan, and why your DNA is the highest-leverage variable in any aging strategy.
DNA Longevity Testing: What 17 Genetic Insights Reveal
The PlexusDx Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes 17 longevity-aging genetic insights across five peptide pathways — Epitalon, FOXO4-DRI, Glutathione, Humanin, and Vilon — covering 15 SNPs across 14 genes including FOXO3, TERT, SIRT1, GPX1, and PPARGC1A. This article explains what each insight reveals and why peptide-specific longevity testing is a distinct category of genetic analysis.
