What can our genes tell us about frailty?

A new study, recently published in Nature’s journal npj Aging, uses data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging to identify a genetic region linked to frailty—offering new insight into why aging experiences can differ.

Led by Sayem Borhan, assistant professor in the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact at McMaster University , this research identifies a previously unrecognized region of the genome linked to frailty, which can help support earlier identification of risk and prevention.

For the full story:

New research using CLSA data is offering new insight into the biological processes that influence the development of frailty as we age. The study draws on data from more than 23,000 CLSA participants from across Canada and identifies a previously unrecognized region of the genome linked to frailty o...

Que dévoilent les gènes au sujet de la fragilité?

Grâce aux données de l’Étude longitudinale canadienne sur le vieillissement, une nouvelle étude publiée récemment dans la r***e npj Aging de Nature dévoile une nouvelle région génétique liée à la fragilité et procure un nouvel aperçu des raisons qui expliquent les diverses expériences du vieillissement.

Dirigée par Sayem Borhan, professeur adjoint au Département des méthodes, des données probantes et de l’impact de la recherche en santé de l’Université McMaster, cette étude dévoile une région auparavant inconnue du génome liée à la fragilité, qui peut contribuer au dépistage et à la prévention plus rapides du risque.
