Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Mice overexpressing human GMFB (GMFB-Tg) had a 6% decrease in mean lifespan compared to wild type mice. In addition GMFB-Tg demonstrated signs of premature ageing including hair greying and loss, skin atrophy and spinal curvature. Some of the GMFB-Tg mice died within 60 weeks.
