Mutations in daf-2 and daf-12, but not mutations in daf-12 alone, nearly quadruples lifespan [7789761]. Recessive loss of function mutation in daf-12 shortens lifespan. daf-12 activity is required for lifespan extension after germ line ablation [10360574]. daf-12 mutation suppresses the lifespan extension by mutation in daf-28 [8807293]. daf-12 mutants are dauer defective and heterochronic [7219552]. Some daf-12 alleles exhibit synthetic lethality with mutation of age-1 [8807293] or daf-12 [1732156].
