Abstract excerpt
The recent hypothesis that common variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs) in the population may contribute significantly to genetic risk for common diseases permits a conceptually straightforward approach to identifying age-related disease-causing mutations. Functional variants of DNA replication and repair genes might be expected to be highly significant to cancer and aging since replication must...
