Not off-hand (must remember to download my bookmarks when on the road!). But
most of the big anti-aging groups (A4M, for one) make these tests available
(normally only as part of a ~1000+ dollar package of tests...) -- cross-linking
of various important biological molecules would be the most important, and
expensive, tests.
But, exotic tests or not, the main useful thing is having a non-CR twin. (Though
they start eyeing you for body parts as the years go by. Same way I eye my
clone, actually. Poetic justice I suppose.)
Seriously: comparison with peers is probably useful.

Let's hope so!

Near West Palm Beach. Various family health crises brought me here last week,
which, fortunately, all turned out perfectly well (though my niece -- oops;
"niece to be" [1] -- may have to be removed from my sister with a knife). So now
I've got another two weeks before my ticket says I have to go back, and a
healthy family, so I'm soaking up the glorious weather, sipping Tahitian noni,
and working under the palms. Life is good.
Best,
Brian.
[1] though when you see those ultrasounds, and, more importantly, see your
sister seeing those ultrasounds.... Final answer: "niece" (said
non-Catholically).
