Clues to Human Longevity Unearthed in Largescale Mouse Genetic Study

September 30, 2022

Via: GEN

Our lifespan or more importantly our “health span,” as discussed during GEN’s recent The State of Biotech summit, is a complex quantitative parameter influenced by our genes, cells, physiology, and environment. Knowing the genes that affect longevity is an important step that could inform the development of treatments, the practice of precision medicine, and potentially extend human health span. However, it has been challenging to identify genetic determinants of longevity due to the lack of integrated approaches that leverage multiple lines of evidence linked to complex traits.
