DNA methylation-based measures of biological age: meta-analysis predicting time to death

Brian H. Chen, +74 more
TL;DR: Evidence that epigenetic age predicts all-cause mortality above and beyond chronological age and traditional risk factors is strengthened and estimates that incorporate information on blood cell counts lead to highly significant associations with all- Cause mortality are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Older adults' views of "successful aging" how do they compare with researchers' definitions?

TL;DR: Whether older adults have thought about aging and aging successfully and to compare their perceptions of successful aging with attributes of successful Aging identified in the published literature are compared.

Detectable clonal mosaicism and its relationship to aging and cancer

Kevin B. Jacobs, +188 more
TL;DR: Large chromosomal abnormalities in a subset of clones in DNA obtained from blood or buccal samples underscore the time-dependent nature of somatic events in the etiology of cancer and potentially other late-onset diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome sequencing identifies EN1 as a determinant of bone density and fracture.

Hou-Feng Zheng, +174 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that low‐frequency non‐coding variants have large effects on BMD and fracture, thereby providing rationale for whole‐genome sequencing and improved imputation reference panels to study the genetic architecture of complex traits and disease in the general population.
