A genome-wide study replicates linkage of 3p22-24 to extreme longevity in humans and identifies possible additional loci.
Although there is abundant evidence that human longevity is heritable, efforts to map loci responsible for variation in human lifespan have had limited success.We identified individuals from a large multigenerational population database (the Utah Population Database) who exhibited high levels of bot...
