    The role of lipid-related genes, aging-related processes, and environment in healthspan. 

    Arbeev, Konstantin; Arbeeva, L; Culminskaya, IV; Kulminski, Alexander; Stallard, Eric; Ukraintseva, Svetlana; Yashin, Anatoli I (Aging Cell, 2013-04)
    The inherent complexity of aging-related traits can temper progress in unraveling the genetic origins of healthspan. We focus on two generations in the Framingham Heart Study, the original (FHS) and offspring (FHSO) cohorts, ...

    Biogenetic mechanisms predisposing to complex phenotypes in parents may function differently in their children. 

    Arbeev, Konstantin; Barmada, M; Christensen, Kaare; Kulminski, Alexander; Miljkovic, I; Stallard, Eric; Yashin, Anatoli I (J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2013-07)
    This study focuses on the participants of the Long Life Family Study to elucidate whether biogenetic mechanisms underlying relationships among heritable complex phenotypes in parents function in the same way for the same ...
