Abstract excerpt
In this study, we investigated the contribution of rare coding variants to human longevity by analyzing whole exome sequencing data from 1245 German long-lived individuals (LLI) and 4105 geographically matched younger controls. We identified novel exome-wide significant associations at both the single-variant and gene level, with a significant over-representation of genes involved in mechanistic target of...
