Abstract excerpt
Variation in the klotho gene is linked to differences in health outcomes: klotho allele KL-VS heterozygosity is associated with longevity, better cognition and greater right frontal grey matter volume in late life. Contradicting reports, however, suggest that KL-VS's effect on health might be age-dependent. Here we examine the relationship between KL-VS genotype, cognition and brain structure in childhood and...
