Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Knockouts are dwarf with significantly extended lifespan of up to 40% in males in the Ola-BALB/cJ background and 21% in females. In the C57Bl/6J background results are more modest but lifespan is still increased.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Lifespan is 21-40% higher.
