Details


Name HPRT
Type somatic mutation
Species Mus musculus
Tissue NA
Experiment Method PCR
Up/Down Up
Pro/Anti Pro
Funtion Description Dietary restriction, which prolongs life span, results in slowed accumulation of HPRT mutants in mice. Conversely,senescence-accelerated mice, which have been bred to have a shortened life span,show accelerated accumulation of somatic mutations.
