Culminskaya, Irina; Kulminski, Alexander M; Yashin, Anatoli I (Ann Gerontol Geriatr Res, 2016)A role of non-Mendelian inheritance in genetics of complex, age-related traits is becoming increasingly recognized. Recently, we reported on two inheritable clusters of SNPs in extensive genome-wide linkage disequilibrium ... -

Kulminski, Alexander M; Arbeev, Konstantin G; Christensen, Kaare; Mayeux, Richard; Newman, Anne B; Province, Michael A; Hadley, Evan C; ... (11 authors) (Mech Ageing Dev, 2011-04)We used an approach of cumulative deficits to evaluate the rate of aging in 4954 participants of the Long-Life Family Study (LLFS) recruited in the U.S. (Boston, New York, and Pittsburgh) and Denmark. We used an array of ... -

(14 authors) (Aging (Albany NY), 2011-01)Individuals from families recruited for the Long Life Family Study (LLFS) (n= 4559) were examined and compared to individuals from other cohorts to determine whether the recruitment targeting longevity resulted in a cohort ... -
Heritability estimates of endophenotypes of long and health life: the Long Life Family Study.
Matteini, Amy M; Fallin, M Daniele; Kammerer, Candace M; Schupf, Nicole; Yashin, Anatoli I; Christensen, Kaare; Arbeev, Konstantin G; ... (11 authors) (J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2010-12)BACKGROUND: Identification of gene variants that contribute to exceptional survival may provide critical biologic information that informs optimal health across the life span. METHODS: As part of phenotype development efforts ... -
Inter-chromosomal level of genome organization and longevity-related phenotypes in humans.
Kulminski, Alexander M; Culminskaya, Irina; Yashin, Anatoli I (Age (Dordr), 2013-04)Studies focusing on unraveling the genetic origin of health span in humans assume that polygenic, aging-related phenotypes are inherited through Mendelian mechanisms of inheritance of individual genes. We use the Framingham ... -
Letter to the editor: Standardization of genetic association studies, pros and cons, reaffirmed.
Kulminski, Alexander; Culminskaya, Irina; Yashin, Anatoli I (Age (Dordr), 2014-04) -
Leukocyte telomere length is associated with disability in older u.s. Population.
Risques, Rosa Ana; Arbeev, Konstantin G; Yashin, Anatoli I; Ukraintseva, Svetlana V; Martin, George M; Rabinovitch, Peter S; Oshima, Junko (J Am Geriatr Soc, 2010-07)OBJECTIVES: To determine whether mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL) serves as a biomarker of disability assessed according to activities of daily living (ADLs) and what factors may modify this relationship. DESIGN: ... -
Polymorphisms in the ACE and ADRB2 genes and risks of aging-associated phenotypes: the case of myocardial infarction.
Kulminski, Alexander M; Culminskaya, Irina V; Ukraintseva, Svetlana V; Arbeev, Konstantin G; Akushevich, Igor; Land, Kenneth C; Yashin, Anatoli I (Rejuvenation Res, 2010-02)Multiple functions of the beta2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genes warrant studies of their associations with aging-related phenotypes.
