RNA editing genes associated with extreme old age in humans and with lifespan in C. elegans.

RNA editing genes associated with extreme old age in humans and with lifespan in C. elegans.

The strong familiality of living to extreme ages suggests that human longevity is genetically regulated. The majority of genes found thus far to be associated with longevity primarily function in lipoprotein metabolism and insulin/IGF-1 signaling. There are likely many more genetic modifiers of huma...
