Study discovers longevity may be down to one particular gene
Dutch researchers have found that a single gene may influence why some families live long lives.
Families with long-lived parents showed a cardiometabolic disease onset 13 years later than others.
Researchers identified the CGAS gene as likely having one active copy in these families, which reduces inflammation while still fighting infections and repairing damage.
