Polygenic prediction of human longevity on the supposition of pervasive pleiotropy by M. Reza Jabalameli, Jhih-Rong Lin, Quanwei Zhang, Zhen Wang, Joydeep Mitra, Nha Nguyen, Tina Gao, Mark Khusidman, Sanish Sathyan, Gil Atzmon, Sofiya Milman, Jan Vijg, Nir Barzilai, Zhengdong D. Zhang

“…We tracked allele frequency changes as a function of viability across different age bins and prioritized 34 variants with an immediate implication on lipid metabolism, body mass index (BMI), and cognitive performance, among other traits, revealed by PheWAS analysis in the UK Biobank. Given the highly complex and non-linear interactions between the genetic determinants of longevity, we reasoned that a composite polygenic score would approximate a substantial portion of the variance in lifespan and developed the integrated longevity genetic scores (iLGSs) for distinguishing exceptional survival. …”
