Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although there is abundant evidence that human longevity is heritable, efforts to map loci responsible for variation in human lifespan have had limited success. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We identified individuals from a large multigenerational population database (the Utah Population Database) who exhibited high levels of both familial longevity and individual longevity. This selection...
