Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description

TOP3B affects the supercoiling of the DNA. Mice lacking TOP3B develop normally but have a shorter lifespan. It is unclear whether these animals age faster [166]. Litter size decreases over time and through successive generations in TOP3B-null mice, probably due to embryonic death [729]. It has been suggested that the age-related phenotype, including lesions in multiple organs as a result of inflammatory responses is due to the development of autoimmunity with age [3659]. A role for TOP3B in human ageing remains to be determined.
