Theoretical Gompertzian implications on life span variability among genotypically identical animals.

Mechanisms of ageing and development - 1 Oct 1999

Kowald A

Abstract excerpt

Aging is a highly polygenic trait (Kirkwood, T.B.L., Franceschi, C., 1992. Is aging as complex as it would appear? Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 663, 412-417) who's underlying mechanisms are still unresolved. Animal models are an important help for understanding this process and a recent report drew attention to a putative gene which causes variability in the life span among genotypically identical...
