Abstract excerpt
Aging is a physiological process that is in part genetically determined. Some of the signs and symptoms of aging also occur prematurely in Mendelian disorders. Such disorders are excellent sources of information of underlying mechanisms for these components of aging, and studying these may allow detection of pathways that have not yet considered in detail in physiological aging. Here I define the clinical...
