suggests that your genetics become less important as you get older, adding to research surrounding how our genetics affect how we age.
"There's been a huge amount of work done in human genetics to understand how genes are turned on and off by human genetic variation. Our project came about by asking, 'How is that influenced by an individual's age?'" Peter Sudman, one of the co-authors of the study said in a"And the first result we found was that your genetics actually matter less the older you get.
The researchers suggest that while genetic makeup is great for forecasting gene expression when you're younger, it becomes less beneficial for individuals above the age of 55.
