High-throughput sequencing analysis of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes reveals a genetic signature of human longevity
10 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a well-known contributor to aging and age-related diseases. The precise mechanisms through which mitochondria impact human lifespan, however, remain unclear. We hypothesize that humans with exceptional longevity harbor rare variants in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes (mitonuclear genes) that confer resistance against age-related mitochondrial dysfunction. Here we report an...
