Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
In older animals, SMRTmRID1 mice developed cataracts, alopecia and gray hair sooner than wt controls. In addition, the rotarod test demonstrated that SMRTmRID1 mice had diminished sensorimotor coordination, implicating a premature aging phenotype. SMRTmRID1 mice had elevated levels of fasting serum triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, insulin and leptin as well as reduced adiponectin concentrations, compared to control animals. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that both female (p=0.028) and male (p=0.012) SMRTmRID1 mice had shortened lifespan.
