Genes, ageing and longevity in humans: Problems, advantages and perspectives

1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

Many epidemiological data indicate the presence of a strong familial component of longevity that is largely determined by genetics, and a number of possible associations between longevity and allelic variants of genes have been described. A breakthrough strategy to get insight into the genetics of longevity is the study of centenarians, the best example of successful ageing. We review the main results regarding...
