Abstract excerpt
Human longevity, which is coupled to compression of age-related disease, is a heritable trait. However, only few common genetic variants have been linked to longevity, suggesting that rare, family-specific variants may also play a role. We therefore investigated whole-genome sequencing data of long-lived individuals from the Leiden Longevity Study and identified family-specific variants residing in genes involved...
