What this Trial Is About
We believe extreme longevity is due to specific genes which function to delay aging and prevent disease. The purpose of the research is to identify the genes/mutations associated with healthier aging; to understand the biological functions of these genes/mutations; and to develop therapies to replicate these preservative genetic activities in individuals who do not have the genetic profile for longevity.
