英文摘要	As an important aspect of epigenetics, DNA methylation has been proven to be suitable for forensic DNA analysis. By detecting changes in DNA methylation, it is desirable to construct a model of age patterns associated with it to infer the age of the individual. The hTERT gene methylation is closely related to tumors, but there are few reports on the relationship between hTERT gene promoter methylation and age. In this study, we utilized the methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction and real-time PCR (relative quantification and absolute quantification) approach to explore the connection between hTERT DNA methylation and age prediction. We fit three models for age prediction based on methylation assay for 90 blood samples from donors aged 1-79 years old. Among them, the model of absolute quantification of real-time enabled the age prediction with R-2 = 0.9634. We verified the linear regression model with a validation set of 30 blood samples where prediction average error was 4.29 years. Generally, this reliable method improves the DNA methylation analysis of forensic samples.
