Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
RNA interference of CTH-1 in worms results in median lifespan reduction (~15%), however maximal lifespan is not significantly different than that of controls.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is 15% lower.
Lifespan Effect
Decrease
Genetic Manipulation
RNA interference
