Trade-offs in the effects of the apolipoprotein E polymorphism on risks of diseases of the heart, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders: insights on mechanisms from the Long Life Family Study.
(Rejuvenation Res, 2015-04)
The lack of evolutionary established mechanisms linking genes to age-related traits
makes the problem of genetic susceptibility to health span inherently complex. One
complicating factor is genetic trade-off. Here we focused ...
Do gender, disability, and morbidity affect aging rate in the LLFS? Application of indices of cumulative deficits.
(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 ...
Age, gender, and cancer but not neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases strongly modulate systemic effect of the Apolipoprotein E4 allele on lifespan.
(PLoS Genet, 2014-01)
Enduring interest in the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism is ensured by its evolutionary-driven
uniqueness in humans and its prominent role in geriatrics and gerontology. We use
large samples of longitudinally followed ...
