Joint influence of small-effect genetic variants on human longevity.
(Aging (Albany NY), 2010-09)
The results of genome-wide association studies of complex traits, such as life span
or age at onset of chronic disease, suggest that such traits are typically affected
by a large number of small-effect alleles. Individually ...
Protective role of the apolipoprotein E2 allele in age-related disease traits and survival: evidence from the Long Life Family Study.
(Biogerontology, 2016-11)
The apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a classic example of a gene exhibiting pleiotropism.
We examine potential pleiotropic associations of the apoE2 allele in three biodemographic
cohorts of long-living individuals, offspring, ...
Effect of the APOE Polymorphism and Age Trajectories of Physiological Variables on Mortality: Application of Genetic Stochastic Process Model of Aging.
(Scientifica (Cairo), 2012)
We evaluated effects of the APOE polymorphism (carriers versus noncarriers of the
e4 allele) and age trajectories of total cholesterol (CH) and diastolic blood pressure
(DBP) on mortality risk in the Framingham Heart Study ...
How the quality of GWAS of human lifespan and health span can be improved.
(Front Genet, 2013)
How Genes Modulate Patterns of Aging-Related Changes on the Way to 100: Biodemographic Models and Methods in Genetic Analyses of Longitudinal Data.
(N Am Actuar J, 2016)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To clarify mechanisms of genetic regulation of human aging
and longevity traits, a number of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of these
traits have been performed. However, the results of these ...
How the effects of aging and stresses of life are integrated in mortality rates: insights for genetic studies of human health and longevity.
(Biogerontology, 2016-02)
Increasing proportions of elderly individuals in developed countries combined with
substantial increases in related medical expenditures make the improvement of the
health of the elderly a high priority today. If the process ...
Genetics of aging, health, and survival: dynamic regulation of human longevity related traits.
(Front Genet, 2015)
BACKGROUND: The roles of genetic factors in human longevity would be better understood
if one can use more efficient methods in genetic analyses and investigate pleiotropic
effects of genetic variants on aging and health ...
Pure and Confounded Effects of Causal SNPs on Longevity: Insights for Proper Interpretation of Research Findings in GWAS of Populations with Different Genetic Structures.
(Front Genet, 2016)
This paper shows that the effects of causal SNPs on lifespan, estimated through GWAS,
may be confounded and the genetic structure of the study population may be responsible
for this effect. Simulation experiments show that ...
How lifespan associated genes modulate aging changes: lessons from analysis of longitudinal data.
(Front Genet, 2013)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The influence of genes on human lifespan is mediated by
biological processes that characterize body's functioning. The age trajectories of
these processes contain important information about mechanisms ...
Uncoupling associations of risk alleles with endophenotypes and phenotypes: insights from the ApoB locus and heart-related traits.
(Aging Cell, 2017-02)
Traditionally, genomewide association studies (GWAS) have emphasized the benefits
of large samples in the analyses of age-related traits rather than their specific
properties. We adopted a realistic concept of genetic ...
