Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Having longer lived parents has been shown to be an important predictor of health trajectories and life span. As such, parental life span is an important phenotype that may uncover genes that affect longevity. METHODS: A genome-wide association study of parental life span in participants of European and African ancestry from the Health and Retirement Study was conducted. RESULTS: A genome-wide...
