Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic research on longevity has provided important insights into the mechanism of aging and aging-related diseases. Pinpointing import genetic variants associated with aging could provide insights for aging research. METHODS: We performed a whole-genome sequencing in 19 centenarians to establish the genetic basis of human longevity. RESULTS: Using SKAT analysis, we found 41 significantly correlated...
