Matrilineal Transmission of Familial Excess Longevity (mtFEL): Effects on Cause-specific Mortality in Utah, 1904 - 2002

2018-07-05

Abstract excerpt

The heritable component to a long and healthy life is likely to involve the actions and interactions of both nuclear and mitochondrial genetic variants. Using computerized genealogical records with accompanying cause of death information from the Utah population, we previously reported cause-specific mortality rate distributions associated with the nuclear genetic component of familial exceptional longevity.
