Gio.tto/Shutterstock Researchers have linked a shorter lifespan with two common gene changes. One copy of either of these two changes to DNA (called variants) could shave a year off your life expectancy. People who inherit two copies – one from mom and one from dad – of both variants could expect to lose about 3.3 to 3.7 years. The findings were published in Nature Communications this week.
