Abstract excerpt
Ageing-related diseases (ARDs) display diverse phenotypes yet share an age-dependent rise in incidence, suggesting mechanistic links with ageing processes. We examined whether ageing-related genes differ systematically from genes associated with multiple ARD clusters. Across 57 ARDs from UK Biobank, network analyses showed that ageing-related genes, although rarely ARD-associated, lie significantly closer to many...
