Living past 100 years with anti-aging genes


Analysis of two separate projects to see both the genes of healthy, old (90 years or even 100) people, whether they have genes in May, shared responsibility, make their life.

Technology Review reports that Eric Topol, the Program for Genomic Medicine Institute Scripps Translational Science that blood samples collected from 1000 people aged 80 or over who have never suffered from serious illness and does not derive drugged. From the article:

"These people have genetic markers of susceptibility to many serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes, but they receive none of these diseases," says Eric Topol

"The sequencing of the researchers can determine whether he is healthy, elderly tend to wear [Change] genetic predisposition, whether protective factors more efficiently or impede the activity of harmful factors operate."

In the same report, we also learn the planned lifetime of genes, the longevity will also genes, but they are using microarray analysis rather than direct gene sequencing.
