The Minimum Information for Publication of PCR-based Telomere Length Measurement (MIPTL) was developed to reflect the current recommendations of the Telomere Research Network (TRN) for best practices of the measurement of telomere length in population-based studies. These recommendations are offered as initial guidelines for researchers, reviewers, and scientific research officers, and are considered minimal reporting guidelines for PCR-based measurement of telomere length.
