Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic analysis of human longevity may be useful for the understanding of molecular mechanisms implicated in age-related diseases. The molecular genetics of human longevity is largely unexplored in Latin American populations and other developing countries. METHODS: To explore the possibility of an association of common polymorphisms in two candidate genes and longevity in Colombia, we analyzed two...
