Genetic Control of the Aging Process: A Review and Interpretation

Abstract: RÉSUMÉLe processus de vieillissement est sous contrôle génétique. Le point de vue traditionnel, dérivé de la biologie évolutive, est que le vieillissement est un trait polygénique, contrôlé par un grand nombre de gènes, chacun avec un effet additif. Un autre point de vue est développé ici, en ajoutant qu'il y a un nombre limité de gènes importants dans le contrôle du vieillissement. Ces derniers peuvent inclure les gènes protecteurs qui assurent l'exactitude de la synthèse de protéines et aussi les gènes qui s… Show more

“…The second category of genes control the initiation of the aging process in cells and are termed senescence initiation switches. Since changes in single genes of these classes can markedly affect lifespan in some animal models, Enesco proposed that aging might be under the control of relatively few master genes which might ultimately allow modification of the aging process by gene therapy approaches (6).…”
