Exceptional familial clustering for extreme longevity in humans

T Perls et al. J Am Geriatr Soc. 2000 Nov.

Abstract

Four families highly clustered for extreme longevity are described here, representing the first report of clustering for this phenotype. Families such as these may prove to be helpful in the further understanding of the genetic contribution to achieving exceptional longevity.
