Synonyms Age-related genes; Longevity genes; Longevityrelated genes Definition Genes that delay aging are genes that have shown to be associated with lifespan and/or longevity in animal models and/or humans when altered (e.g., overexpressed or knocked down). Overview Aging is to a minor, yet significant, extent genetically determined. Moreover, the genetic component of aging appears, at least partially, to be evolutionary conserved across species. Hence, to unravel this genetic component,
