Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
junD -/- mice exhibit features of premature aging (cataracts, slight hair loss, graying, varying degrees of cachexia, and lordokyphosis), and shortened lifespan. They also display persistent hypoglycemia due to enhanced insulin secretion. Mice also developed various types of neoplasia (most frequent cause of death being high-grade diffuse lymphomas) at similar frequency as in old WT mice.
