From mutation to mechanism: deciphering the molecular function of genetic variants linked to human ageing.

Abstract excerpt

Many of the leading causes of death in humans, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease are influenced by biological mechanisms that become dysregulated with increasing age. Hence, by targeting these ageing-related mechanisms, we may be able to improve health in old age. Ageing is partly heritable and genetic studies have been moderately successful in identifying genetic variants...
