Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Knockout mice have a shorten lifespan and exhibit signs of premature aging, including prominent eyes and protruding ears, ocular abnormalities (opaque eyes and blindness), early depigmentation of the fur, hair follicle atrophy, decreased hair density and regrowth rate, thickened dermis, significant decrease in subcutaneous adipose tissue and muscle, muscle atrophy, osteroporosis, decrease in pulmonary capacity.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 15% lower.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is 38.5% lower.

    Observations
    Lifespan was extended for both sexes of the Cisd2 TG mice (gain-of-function mutation) without any statistically significant sex difference. In addition, when the Cisd2 TG mice were compared to WT mice, there was no obvious phenotypic effect on body weight or body temperature, or on the measured metabolic indices, including intake of food and water and generation of urine and stool. Aging appeared to be delayed in skin (measured by hair greying and mice's capacity to repel water), muscle and neurons. Mouse mutants also displayed protection of mitochondria from age-associated damage, and reduction of the age-associated decline in mitochondrial function and whole-body energy metabolism.
    % change in max lifespan
    Maximum male lifespan is 11.7% higher; Maximum female lifespan is 29.6% higher.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Median male lifespan is 19.4% lower; Median female lifespan is 18.8% lower.
    Lifespan Effect
