Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Gene deletion in connective tissue resulted in mutant mice with a reduced lifespan and premature onset of aging-related phenotypes such as weight loss, skin atrophy, kyphosis, osteoporosis and muscle degeneration.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 14% lower.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is 43% lower.
Lifespan Effect
Decrease
Genetic Manipulation
Deletion in connective tissue
