Identification of functional rare coding variants in IGF-1 gene in humans with exceptional longevity
2024-10-13
Abstract excerpt
Diminished signaling via insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis is associated with longevity in different model organisms. IGF-1 gene is highly conserved across species, with only few evolutionary changes identified in it. Despite its potential role in regulating life span, no coding variants in IGF-1 have been reported in human longevity cohorts to date. This study investigated the whole exome sequenci...
