Abstract excerpt
One way of testing possible causal relationships between various functional pathways and aging and longevity processes is to comparatively analyze groups of elderly individuals with select phenotypes for sequence variation in all genes participating in these pathways. Such direct association analysis to identify 'candidate pathways' in aging and longevity is theoretically feasible, with the complete sequence of...
