Frailty phenotype

mixedin humans1

1 study
  1. SOCS2 is associated with frailty phenotype in humans.

    “Our study demonstrated the role of genes, PLXCN1 and SOCS2, that contribute to frailty through neurological and immunological pathways.”

    Humansimplicated by eQTL analysis

    Ordinal GWAS analysis of the frailty phenotype identified a novel locus at 12q22 that underscores the role of the neurological and immune systems

GrimAge

upin humans1

1 study
  1. SOCS2 is associated with GrimAge in humans (p = 2.87 × 10−8).

    “In addition, we found a novel association signal for SOCS2 rs73218878 (p = 2.87 × 10−8) and accelerated GrimAge.”
