Genetics of aging uncovered with rare disease discovery
Posted by ArielTechGeek 32 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Small vessel disease (SVD) causes damage to small arteries and capillaries that reduces blood flow to sensitive organs like the eye, brain, and kidney and can be triggered by aging, high blood pressure, and genetic abnormalities. Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy (RVCL) is an SVD caused by an inherited mutation in the TREX1 gene. It’s rare, with fewer than 200 known cases wor
