title: Identification of genes involved in healthy aging and longevity.
abstract: Studies suggest that the region around microsatellite marker D4S1564 on chromosome 4 is in some way linked to longevity. As a part of the integrated European project Genetics of Healthy Aging (GeHA), we set out to investigate the genes found in this region using a proteomics approach. Here, we report the cloning of six candidate genes.
