The burden of rare protein-truncating genetic variants on human ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have linked more than 20 loci to phenotypes related to human lifespan. However, little is known about ...

Human longevity: Genetics or Lifestyle? It takes two to tango

Family studies demonstrated that about 25 % of the variation in human longevity is due to genetic factors. The search for genetic and molecular ...

Duplications of Human Longevity-Associated Genes Across ...

Here, we explored the association between gene duplication and mammalian lifespan by analyzing 287 human longevity-associated genes across 37 placental mammals.
