Predicting physiological aging rates from a range of quantitative traits using machine learning

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 4. Significant genetic loci obtained from genome-wide association study. (A) CFI/GAR1 was significantly associated with the physiological aging rate (PAR). CFI is a complement factor and has been linked to age-related macular degeneration and other age-related disorders. GAR1 is an accessory protein for the active telomerase complex and is an eQTL target of the top CFI/GAR1 SNPs. (B) LINC00202 was significantly associated with the PAR and corresponded to a long non-coding RNA that has been indirectly linked to age-related disease. Plots were made using LocusZoom (Pruim et al., 2010).
