[Genes of longevity].
Aging, as most of the processes in the organism's life, is under genetic control. A handful of genes have become known in the recent decade that are involved in this process. Understanding how they work may reveal the keys to longer life while banishing diseases of old age. The aim of this paper is to present a review of the research to extend the human lifespan.
