The genetics of human ageing.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Feb 2020

Melzer David, Pilling Luke C, Ferrucci Luigi

Abstract excerpt

The past two centuries have witnessed an unprecedented rise in human life expectancy. Sustaining longer lives with reduced periods of disability will require an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of ageing, and genetics is a powerful tool for identifying these mechanisms. Large-scale genome-wide association studies have recently identified many loci that influence key human ageing traits, including...
