Abstract excerpt
Longevity is a polygenic trait in which genetic predisposition is particularly important. We hypothesized that among genes differentially expressed in response to caloric restriction, several may be candidate longevity genes. We tested 459 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 47 genes differentially expressed in calorically restricted mice and 12 other genes for association with longevity. Subjects were...
