Drosophila melanogasterGenAge entry for dm (Drosophila melanogaster)

Gene information (ID: 1955)

Symbol
dm
Name
diminutive
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Overexpression of dm (ortholog of the mammalian Myc) during larval development increases the frequency and the severity of somatic mutations, and shortens median lifespan by 42-47%. Maximum lifespan is 30-40% shorter. Contrastly, dm haploinsufficiency lowers the frequency of somatic mutations and extends lifespan by about 14%.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is up to 40% lower.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is up to 47% lower.
