Alu Deletions in <i>LAMA2</i> and <i>CDH4</i> Genes Are Key Components of Polygenic Predictors of Longevity
Longevity is a unique human phenomenon and a highly stable trait, characterized by polygenicity. The longevity phenotype occurs due to the ability to successfully withstand the age-related genomic instability triggered by Alu elements. The purpose of our cross-sectional study was to evaluate the com...
