bchs mutation

Species: Fruit fly (Taxid: 7227)
Factor: bchs
Manipulation: Loss-of-Function, Mutation
Effect:

Loss of function mutation in bchs results in a 40-45% decrease in mean lifespan and is associated with age-related neurodegenerative phenotype with reduced CNS size and altered morphology as well as accumulation of insoluble ubiquinated proteins and amyloid precursor-like proteins along with an increase in neuronal apoptosis. No pronounced developmental defects were observed and young adults have normal behaviours, indicating that the bchs gene is essential for normal adult survival and longevity [12598614].

bchs mutation reduces mean lifespan by 28 - 54% and maximum lifespan by 24 - 46% [17435236].

Mean: -28 to -54
Maximum: -24 to -46
