Reply to comment by Ok-Championship-2036 in Just with a sample of someone's DNA, can a lab tell the approximate age of a person? by Blakut

An exact age wouldn't be possible, but in theory wouldn't it be possible to look at the number of mutations that differ between different cells in a person and match that against an expected mutation rate to get some indication of old/yound?
