Abstract excerpt
In previous papers a stochastic model of the ageing process has been proposed. Some genetic parameters (redundance, repair) have been used to explain the observed differential predisposition to the process and family heredity. Because the process is basically due to effective random mutations, any individual of the population would be predisposed differently to ageing according to the structure of his/her genome....
