Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Cdk7 deficiency causes early embryonic lethality. However, ablation of Cdk7 in adult animals resulted in age-related phenotypes, including weight loss, pervasive hair-greying, kyphosis and premature death with <20% of animals living more than one year.
